I can't read.

I think grad school has given me ADD. My mind can only handle so much and books just tire me out these days. In the past four months I've read the first a hundred pages of a half a dozen books, yet can't read anything through. At the rate I'm going I probably can't justify buying a book for my trip back to California and I'll have to choose something from my collection.

One sentence reviews of books I haven't finished: 

The Lonely Polygamist by Brady Udall-- I enjoyed it, but these days my mind can barely handle an episode of Sister Wives. 

One Day by David Nicholls-- I haven't seen the movie, but I read everything in Anne Hathaway's awful British accent, which obviously made it difficult to read. 

Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin-- I'll admit that chick lit has the ability to get me out of a reading rut, this one... not so much.

Between the Bridge and the River by Craig Ferguson-- I liked this and should probably try to finish it. 

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahnuik-- ehhh, I didn't enjoy the beginning, but I liked the premise and might bring it for the plane. 

And books I'm hoping to get for Christmas (along with ADD medication)

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me by Mindy Kaling-- Cause whats a better option for someone who fantasizes about becoming a comedy writer when grad school is too stressful.

The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta-- Cause my favorite author is worth buying the hardcover for. 

I initially wanted The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides, but based on mixed reviews it might be worth waiting for paperback.
