Sleeping and reading

I have a strange feeling that the following six months might mark some kind of turning point.  (Actually, I have this feeling every six months.)  Apart from a couple of “opportunities”, my biggest aspirations are to reset my sleeping patterns, and read more books.  Somewhat conflicting goals, since reading often keeps me up all night.

At the moment I’m reading “Eden’s Outcasts” about Louisa May Alcott (Little Women) and her father.  I can’t remember where I bought the book, but it won a Pulitzer Prize and it quite compelling.  At one point I thought I’d read at least all the winners of the big prizes every year, but that plan soon floundered.  It is probably about time to read Little Women (but I’ve either read it before long ago (I think so) or I’ve a really long movie version).  And there are also many references to “Pilgrim’s Progress”, so I thought I might give that a try.  But after reading the Wikipedia plot description, I think there may be other ways to entertain myself.

(By the way, the older pictures on this new installation are still broken.  Will fix that over the weekend.)
