I managed to find a pocket of time today so I not only finished East, I also finished three short reads! They are:

Neil Gaiman’s Make Good Art Speech

How Not to Be a Twit by Road Dahl (Quotes basically)

Oh, The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss (honestly felt like a graduation speech too, just for younger students)

I remember really loving the Make Good Art speech the first time I read it, but while I still find it motivation and inspirational now, I’m not as impressed. I think it’s the fancy formatting. I think I understand why they did it that way (J.K. Rowling’s Very Good Lives was similar) but it does make it a bit harder to read.

A quote I really liked:

“A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul and that, I am sure, is why he does it.”

Roald Dahl

East, by the way, was as lovely as I remembered it. I know I should be putting my thoughts down now, but I’m currently not in the mood. Perhaps tomorrow, in between the reading? (Although I also have a meeting and some baking planned so we will see how much I can read)

Two more days to go until this rereading project is over! I wonder what I should read for these last two days?
