Excuses for procrastination

So I realize that I haven't actually read a Shakespeare play in a while. That's not cool. The thing is, since I turned Shakespeare reading into a Project, it's become something that I'm actually putting off, which is crazy, because I like doing it, but I guess that's what happens whenever something becomes an assignment (even if self-imposed).

One way in which I don't read Shakespeare is by reading other things. Currently, I'm in the middle of several others. Here's a brief list, in case you're curious:

• Foundation and Empire
• The Seven Year Itch
• Northanger Abbey
• The Audacity of Hope
• The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
• Hard Times
  
• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
• The Lord of the Rings
  

A rather eclectic bunch, there. (A couple are re-readings.) But once I get through those I'm gonna try to limit my non-Shakespeare reading to one, maybe two, books at a time. We'll see if I can actually do it!

Oh, and 3 Henry VI? Got a good beginning. Perhaps I shall read the rest of it tomorrow...

p.s. I might do the whole tragedy/comedy uberpost at some later date, but I'm not quite up for it now. Plus I'm not really sure if I have anything to say on the subject at this point.
