Insomniac Reading

So last night I couldn't sleep...at all.  I finished a book around midnight and spent a good half hour or so trying to fall asleep.  I was as awake as I was at noon (most likely due to the large amounts of coffee during the day), and decided to start another book.  I didn't want anything too heavy after reading a first person military account of Alexander the Great, so I picked up a murder mystery.  I received a couple dozen from my aunt about a year ago, and figured I'd whittle down that pile a little.  To my dismay and delight, I finished the entire book by 5:00 in the morning...and yes I was still awake.  The book was a page-turner, but it wasn't so great that I didn't want to sleep.  I was just having temporary insomnia that gave me the chance to shrink my physical to-read list.
     I started a new book in the same genre after that, but figured I should get some sleep.  I did manage about four hours total, but I don't want to be doing that again any time soon.
