I just can't daydream like I used to. At one time, I could entertain myself at work for long spans of time when things got slow without the aid of a book or magazine. Not anymore. I think I've become dependent on reading. Since I've been working as a receptionist, I've read so many books. Many of these books were passed on from other people. "Here, read this; you'll like it" they say. Some of those books I pretended were articles from The Onion because the level of stupidity and ignorance matched that satire perfectly. Other books just bored me so much that I couldn't even focus on them enough to stop reading the same paragraph over and over. I like to be told stories, not lectured to. I suppose that's something I never grew out of from childhood.

I discovered one author I found to be hilarious and genius, but I won't mention him because that would be like me recommending him, and I refuse to take up that sort of responsibility. I learned my lesson recommending movies to other Christians. Anyway, I read every one of his books. Then I reread them. Finally I memorized all the stories and realized it was time to move on. Now what? In other words, read any good books lately?
