A little less than 1 a week. Not bad for someone who reads for work, too.

How to list books I've read in 2008
It made me
awake
 "I didn't do it - I read many books and reported very few."
How I did it: Occasionally I awoke from my stupor and mentioned a book I had read. I could have done much more much more meaningfully. If I told you more about what I read you would know more about me. That may not be such a good idea. Lessons & tips: It is possible to say something meaningful, but not if one is noncommunicative. Resources: eyes, spectacles, consciousness, books |

as well as an old-fashioned novel of my grandmother’s. So I’m caught up with where my girl is in her reading. I’m not about to censor her reading, but I do want to know what she’s reading, so we can talk about it.

I read it because my daughter was reading it. I don’t think it’s in the ball part of Harry Potter, but it’s not bad. There are some episodes of daughter sneaking out….lack of supervision from father, etc.
I'm biting off a lot more than I can chew:

Sometime today UPS will deliver three four volume Chinese classics – “Journey to the West,” a mythological tale of Taoist gods, monks and heroes; “Outlaws of the Marsh,” historical fiction set during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE); and “A Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” another historical fiction (probably closer to real events than “Outlaws of the Marsh”) set at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 CE) and the Three Kingdoms era (220-280 CE). I am looking forward to reading all three novels, but they’re all very long. This is going to take a while.

It went silly on me. The metaphysical implications must have gone right over my head. I got bored.
