read a book every week

Well, this was one of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2009. I can’t say that I have been reading a book every week: some weeks go according to plan, others don’t. Saying that, I have been reading a lot (in both English and Swedish) and will try to continue with a book a week.

Tip: Pick up your book instead of sitting in front of the computer or TV.

wow, i’ve read 4 books so far. i’ve managed to finish ‘always in the kitchen at parties’. here’s the fifth book… after this i’ll just rely on allconsuming.net to keep track of what i’m reading.

yay! i consider this goal done!

i read a different book from the one i originally planned to read. the compass was a good read. i read it for 3 hours non-stop until the end. that’s how good it was.

despite my busyness at work, i’ve managed to complete breaking dawn today! the 3rd book of the 3rd week will be a self-help book… i’ll finish it a week from now. wish me luck!

i just finished eclipse. the next book shall be… drum rolls… breaking dawn!

the first book of the goal, read a book every week. i’m halfway through the book already, yay! pat on the back! and i have til sunday to finish it. which i know i will.

I’m reading Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks this week.

The Sun Also Rises
by Ernest Hemingway

I loved it. A story about the happenings of and between a group of travelers and expats in postwar France and Spain, it seems to be an exploration into both the interactions between people and the motivations behind them. A sad, romantic and refreshing book; I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to read a Hemingway novel. Definitely won’t be my last.

In the past month I’ve read, Nine Kinds of Naked by Tony Vigorito, The Brilliance of the Moon by Liam Hearn, Born in the Year of the Butterfly Knife by Derrick Brown, and Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. So I’ve been keeping up my average; I’ve just gotten lazy about posting.

I recommend all of the above books.
