Read a book for an hour a day

I finshed my book, “Zazoo”. it was so delightful. Now, I am on to my travel guide on Provence. This goal is becoming easier, but I’m not sure how I will find the time when school starts.

Argh! I was so close to finishing my book, but my brother had the TV on in the same room and I became distracted.

30 minutes of Zazoo (A book meant for younger readers, but nevertheless beautifully written).

30 minutes of Sons of the Profits (Hm… it’s a little hard to read, I might have to set this book down).

i need to get rid of about 30 books and to put them up on www.bookmooch.com for others to mooch, so i am going to try to read as much as i can in october!

current: rebel

next: one flew over the cuckoo’s nest

i haven’t really been doing it for an hour a day.

current: penny dreadful

next: rebel (a james dean biography)

I’m read about 4 books per week. So, I think meeting this goal will be pretty easy for me. I want to focus on reading books like classics, history, and philosphy.

Now we’re talking.

After 30 pages of the crap that was 4 Blondes by Candace Bushnell, I gave up on it and moved on to my next book. Enter the funniest autobiography I’ve ever read… and I’m only three chapters in!

I ran around the house flitting from room to room, pouring over shelf after shelf to find fodder for this project (which is, unofficially, “To read at least a book a week”). I started stacking up the books I’ve never finished, then moved on to the books I had to have but haven’t touched since the book store. Finally… I collected all the books from the last few years that I haven’t even bothered to look at (much less read the flap of) since receiving them as gifts. Half an hour and 37 books later, I started Bookfest 2007.

I think I’m finally living up to this goal. I am reading a LOT more regularly, in shorter sessions (what I always found hard to do vs rarely powering through one) and multiple books of interest at a time to cater to my whimsical nature when it comes to reading.
