catching up on reading

I like to go to Starbucks to "catch up on reading". This is a funny thing to say because when you're reading for pleasure, there's no way to "catch up". You only do that when you're reading for class. It doesn't really make sense when you're just reading for fun. But I still say it.

Since graduation, I've tried to become a very cultured reader. I've read books about Shakespeare, the conquest of 1066 and Leonardo Da Vinci. I also read some classics like Old Man and the Sea, a Hemingway book, Three Musketeers and now I'm on Count of Monte Cristo. I even read travel guides for fun. Metrosexual, you ask? Nah, just cultured.
