Taking the Edge Off

I have lot of homework. All the time. It is almost exclusively reading. And reading things like Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.
So imagine my joy and surprise when I realized not too long ago that I can read these thick, soul-crushingly convoluted things, and knit the Second Green Sweater at the same time. And I'm even reading more carefully than I would have otherwise, because I'm not impatient to be done and get back to my knitting.
It's a wonderful world.
