I pretty much suck. I've been reading Anna Karenina for, what?, over two weeks now? I'm not far along, at all. In fact, it's so embarrassing how much I have not been reading, that I refuse to release what page number I am.
I fail at life.
Sort of. I say that because, while I'm still struggling to get through the novel ((it's taken over 60 pages to meet the main character: WTF?)), I have reached my main goal. It's not to read 50 books this year; yes, it's important, but I decided to participate in this challenge because reading encourages me to write. By reading, I'm assaulted by my muse, my inspiration, my what-have-you. And when I haven't been reading, I've been writing. And it feels amazing.
Granted, it hasn't been for my NaNoWriMo novel, but it's still something. I'm supposed to write everyday, yeah? Well, these past two weeks, I have been. It's been awesome.
So, while I fail, I still win!!
I love it.
...Hopefully I'll stop being a chump and actually finish Anna Karenina. Honestly, though it's a tad on the boring side, there are portions that just draw me in. But, like Love in the Time of Cholera, they don't last very long.
Anyway, update. Sucky as it is.

Please, have fun with Anna and forget the rest. And keep up writing, I'll be following your challenge.

Thanks for the comment! I tried commenting on your blog, but the link was weird and didn't give me a place to type...? Anyway, I appreciate your comment, and I promise to try my best to continue with Anna Karenina, lol.
I've just fixed that link (I hope so, lol). Thanks!
I don't think you can fail at a meme. It's a meme! Just asking for your opinion and the likes! I mean, I don't have particular favorites for essays and the likes, some of the authors I don't know much about. Hell, did you read my answer for who do I like more (French or Russian authors) I based my answer off of the one and only book I read (russian) and because I didn't like that one and only book.
