School work avoidance

So at the moment I am avoiding school work. The school year hasn't even started yet (starts on Monday) and already I am trying to avoid work. This seems like a bad beginning. I will do better once the school year starts - I hope.

Basically I have read four out of the five books I needed to do for summer reading, the fifth being Clockwork Orange, and I am finding it difficult to pick this particular book up.

I am a lover of romance, and the first four books were: Frankenstein, 1984, Lolita and House of Mirth. Now despite this last book's title - it was not full of mirth, in fact is was very sad and I cried. So now after four of those books I took a break by reading two Jennifer Lyon books - which were lovely and full of the romance I craved. They were the third and fourth book in the Wing Slayer series. But now the idea of slogging through the slovo and nadsat words that Burgess uses in Clockwork Orange - well that's just intolerable and I am trying to figure out a way around this.

There isn't one - I know there isn't. SO I best get back to the grindstone!
