I failed at reading, but I feel oddly good about it.

I bought an iPad several months ago, and I've read four of five books on it. But my e-book reading streak was broken when I started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Every time I sat down to read for a while, I found myself instantly distracted. It is an iPad, so it's hard to read a book knowing I may have an email to read or a move to make on Words with Friends, but this was never a problem before. I blame this book.

It's boring and the characters names are hard to follow. Supposedly it gets better, but I cut my losses yesterday.

I held down the book cover, a red x appeared, and I clicked it!

So, next, I'm going to be finishing up a few bits of fine literature I've been meaning to get to.

- The Magic Fart (See above. It's like 100 pages. Aren't you curious?)
- I, Jedi (Michael Stackpole)
- Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea. (Chelsea Handler)

I'll have all three done by mid-January.
