I went into the library to get two things, and came out with about eight. There are things I've always wanted to read, but never believed I'd have the time to read. One prime example is the Federalist papers, by John Jay, Alexander Hamiton and James Madison. It's over 550 pages, and I know I can have it read. I also picked up the poetry of Virgil, two other history books, and a book called "How to Read Your Mother's Mind."

Not only am I reading more, my communication skills are improving, my intuition is hightened, my thoughts are deeper and broader, my sense of self-confidence is increased. I'm actually considering tracking down and reading all the assigned texts I never got around to reading while getting my B.A.
