unbibiumWell, I finished Spaceland.
What is it about extradimensional novels that make me read them in a single day?
Seriously; whether it's a book, a project, a hobby, anything... I usually don't have the focus to do anything for more than fifteen minutes or so, when I feel like getting up, watching TV, getting a snack, whatever. But I picked up this book and I couldn't put it down. And the last time this happened with a book, it was with Planiverse.
There are occasional exceptions when I get an engrossing programming project. But since I do most of my programming at work these days, it's kind of rare.
I know I have the power to focus on things, and I'd like to know how to harness it.
