For my Advanced Legal Writing class we had to read a work of fiction this week. I have at various times in my life read voraciously, and yet I've had to put reading for enjoyment aside almost entirely to keep up with the week to week demands of law school piled on top of everyday life. During breaks from school I find I read almost a book a day for a few days straight, as if it were a drug and I an addict.
So when I had finished my reading for Community Property and for Federal Indian Law, it was a sort of illicit pleasure to pick up a novel and begin reading. More than once I felt a stab of guilt and had to remind myself that this was required reading, that this was allowed, indeed I must. And just like that, the book is finished and I have no more excuse to indulge.
