Hold me
Today I wandered through my tiny local bookstore trying to find some light reading in German. I'm not at the level to read the books that really interest me. Instead I need a book that doesn't send me to the dictionary every other sentence and, well, the only books that fulfill that requirement are of the "chick lit" kind. Hold me, I'm scared.
Perhaps it's time to push myself and not try to understand everything I read.
UPDATE
Thanks for the holding, I'm okay now. I've decided to read Die Physiker. Here's the English version.
