I am doing well, relatively-speaking. But I’m not really cutting down my unread books. The boy said it’s because I buy so much books (segue: my family’s moving out and I just packed all of my books. I was asking myself how was I able to accumulate that much.) but I thought he shouldn’t be saying that because he’s a booklover too.

I decided to settle with thinner books for now. I think I’ll be able to finish The 101 Most Influential People Who Never Lived in a breeze. Maybe. Kant and the Platypus can wait (it’s too thick!).
