I know. I still have about half of the question-answer stuff, too, which is getting to be a bit much. Like he's trying to use every word in the English language he hasn't already. I'm not looking forward to the black pages, though, at all.

Haha Hemingway has that effect.
The best reading for that kind of situation, I think, is something fast-paced. Like sci-fi or something. That's easier to get lost in when life is busy.
