On Reading and Coughing

A few days ago I received a book in the mail. It’s one I’ve looked forward to reading, and yet! I’ve been able to muster little progress, stalling out at near page fifty twice now.

It’s probably not the book, though.

I’ve lacked for energy the past few days. Since I received the book, actually. I think they may have packed the book with a plague baccillus. Sounds absurd, I know, but how else to explain the terrible cough, the watery nose, the painful eyes?

I’m thinking plague.

Suffice to say I can’t concentrate well enough to read the frelling book. Maybe in a day or two.

Maybe.
