In a way I'm reminded of Julie with the same kind of problem she was having. She was worried that she wouldn't finish Mastering the Art of French Cooking in a year. And I'm around page 133-136 out of the 200-something pages, and I'm planning to see Julie & Julia this weekend. For as long as I can remember, I've always seen movies on their opening weekend. Usually that Saturday or something. And I worry that I won't be done with the book before I see it. I am totally seeing Julie & Julia this weekend. If there wasn't that gap between having to return the book and then getting it back, I'd be a little bit farther into it and could finish it in time to even read the "conversation with Julie Powell" and answer the discussion questions. When it's time I'm going to answer the discussion questions in a later post.
I promised my mom I would lend it to her, but she's not in that much of hurry. And there's someone I also know that's next in line. And I know that she's not in a hurry either. Besides, when I am done with it, hopefully by Friday, the film version would already have been released. Although my friend did seem in kind of a hurry to read it because she didn't know that my mom was after me.
Julie, even if I stop my other daily routines, I will read lots more a day. I've been reading three to five pages a day. I actually didn't eat lunch today so I can read it, and probably won't have much of a dinner this week or something. I am promising to myself that I will be done by Friday.
I may even have to put a hold on Just Like Julia Child.
