Much of my undergraduate career included sitting on the beach and doing homework, interrupted by sitting on the beach reading crap romance novels, mystery novels, and sff novels. Mostly crap romance, though, because I couldn't at the time put sff novels down once I started them. Not so good for the homework.

I had a tan then. And white-blonde hair. And still looked out of place on the beach. Miss the sailing, though.

I more-or-less gave up reading fiction for the last two years of my dissertation. I still read it while I traveled, or, if was compulsively urgent, over weekends, but I didn't dare start books which risked distracting me during work time, so it was easier just not to read much fiction at all.

That's been one of the truly decadent things about this past year - I can read fiction again! And it's okay for me to do so, as long as I keep on top of my to-do list and get enough else done on a regular basis.
