keeping in touch with people

is very difficult. i dont know if its just me, and everyone else seems to manage just fine, but i find it very difficult to muster the effort required to remain in close contact with my friends once i move too far away to see them regularly. i think this is part of the problem i have now. i dont think i would be so bored, or feel quite so lonely, if i were better able to remain in touch with all my friends. i know i wont be in this situation for ever, as i am determined not to live the rest of my life so far away from everyone i know. but i think it will help the next 8 months or so pass by more easily if i were more able to chat freely etc to my mates.

in other news, i have decided that being a fast reader is both a blessing and a curse. on one hand, you get to really be involved in the stories and enjoy them, as you read enough of them in one go for it to get really interesting. on the other hand, you run out of books.

I read Watership Down yesterday. Bought it on my lunch hour, read for half an hour or so at work, and started reading again when i got home. read all evening. finished it at about midnight. its a great book, and i really enjoyed reading it, but i was kinda sad that i finished it so quickly, as i'm really getting to the limits of my library.

I bought Guardians of the West today, as the only series I own that is incomplete is the Mallorean, so i'm readng that again now. more for a want of something to read, than a desire to read the books themselves. they're just kind of there, like having the tv on in the background..

and its a wednesday, so theres not even Eastenders on the telly to take my mind off things for half an hour or so.

can people suggest me some books to read?
