Last night, I actually did my reading assignments for History and American Lit. The weirdest part it, I actually paid attention to what I was reading, and I was even INTERESTED in what I read in my History textbook. Huge WTF @ that.

I had to read "The Outcasts of Poker Flat" by Bret "Not The Hitman" Harte for American Lit. We had already been assigned this story back in high school, but I didn't read it then, so last night was my first time reading it. I got my stupid Literature textbook and started reading. I later found it very uncomfortable to read the book. There were many reasons for this. The book was heavy, making it uncomfortable to hold up and read. The pages were thin, and my air conditioner fan would blow the pages around and disrupt my reading. The book was actually paperback, macking it difficult to steady it on my bed as I read. About 1/5th through the story, I had a brilliant idea: look the story up online and read it on my Macbook. That means no flappy pages, no turning pages, no need for another light source, and no hassle! Honestly, I have no idea why we still use books in their current form (pages bound together between a back and front cover). It's so impractical and annoying. It's so much easier to read books electronically, on a screen or something like that. Really, all books should be transferred to a digital medium so I could "Ctrl + F" them and not have to deal with turning pages and all that crap. They'd also probably be cheaper.
