Read a book every day

...I take “reading abook every day” to mean reading every day. Period. I’ve read every single day since I got a basic grasp on phonics, and I haven’t looked back. Honestly, I’m not going to list all the books I’ve read, as I’ve not the memory and it’s tedious, but I do think this is worth it. There’s are whole worlds out there between the flaps of those books – go and play in ‘em. :)

Well, I read often, but at this point I’m not sure a book a day is doable. I do read a lot of academic articles and Japanese comics – do they count as books? I’m inclined to think it doesn’t really matter; I’m also inclined to think “read a book every day” doesn’t necessarily mean finish a book every day.

Either way, I’ve given Seager’s Encountering the Dharma a read, as well as Bridget Jones’ Diary (again). The former was really helpful because it’s a book on Soka Gakkai, a lay Buddhist organization for the Nichiren Shoshu sect. I’d been grappling with the same issues as Seager, about how to approach this controversial book in my research. His journey gave me some insight into how to go about doing things.

As for Bridget Jones, it’s always a great laugh, and it was a pleasure rereading it. :)
