How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book. ~Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Yesterday I took the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). I have been studying about 10-20 hours a week for the last 10 weeks and I took 17 practice tests. Basically this was my only "hobby" for the last three months and I had very little time to read anything worth blogging about. I am anxious to get back on my reading schedule now that I do not have this exam looming over me.
Although there are many factors involved, reading the Great Books of the Western World, especially the recent series on Law and Government, has influenced my decision to study law. It seems ironic that I have not had time to keep reading the GBWW because these books encouraged me to spend time studying for a law school entrance exam. Furthermore, if I do go to law school, I doubt I will have any time to read the GBWW for at least 3 years. However, I still find it interesting how reading a few books can significantly affect your life.

Bet all the reading helped with the RC section of the LSAT! Good luck with your applications. :)
