35 Before 25: Read 3 Books For Fun

For someone who happens to have a bachelor's degree in english, it might seem lame to only have 3 books on here as a goal. The truth is since starting law school, I've probably only read a single book for fun, and a few collections of essays. Well, no more. The first one on my list should be Catch-22. Not because I've still got summer reading from 1998 to catch up on, but mainly because Josh was kind enough to lend me his copy and I should really give it back to him someday.

The nice thing about this goal is the sense of satisfaction I get from completing a book. I miss that feeling. I don't get the same feeling after reading my 100th divorce case or case about a kid getting run over by a tractor. That's reality. I'm tired of reality. Besides, my brain could use a non-legal vocabulary tune up. Just because you're a judge doesn't mean you can write your way out of a paper bag, and many can't.
