Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 30, 1964

You’re a procrastinating peanut, Charlie Brown.

No, Charlie Brown, don’t start reading it tomorrow, START READING IT NOW, for God’s sake! If you think you have enough time to read a 254-page book and report on it, within a matter of only a few days, you are SORELY MISTAKEN.

For his age, it is a lot. But in a fun and knowledgeable way.

At least it’s not “Pilgrims Progress”………….

If I start writing now when I’m not really rested, it could upset my thinking, which is no good at all. I’ll get a fresh start tomorrow when it’s not due ‘til Wednesday, so I’ll have all of Tuesday unless something should happen. Why does this always happen? I should be outside playing, getting fresh air and sunshine. I work best under pressure and there’ll be lots of pressure if I wait ‘til tomorrow, I should start writing now, but if I start writing now when I’m not really rested, it could upset my thinking, which is no good at all.

It’s certainly been more than a few years since I read it but I thought I remembered Gulliver’s Travels being a fairly interesting story

It’s not grabbing him.

At least it’s nowhere as bad as “Happy New Year, Charlie Brown” made it. He had to read “WAR AND PEACE!” Over a thousand pages long!
