Goodreads owns my soul. I just wish I had infinite time to consume everything.

How to read more
It made me
feel better
 "turn off the tv, close your computer, and read."
How I did it: I just did it. I found a couple books that seemed interesting and started reading. the hard part is getting into the reading habit, but once you do it for a while, you get pretty immersed in the book and it just goes from there.

How I did it: In conjunction with my goal of watching less tv, I now turn it off and read. I also have starting going back to the public library.

My 2010 Goal
4 days ago
Hello,
One of my goals for 2010 is to incorporate reading into my daily life. I’m interested in a lot – biographies, historical fiction, politics, food, economics, and others.
Are there any books you suggest? I want to have a rough list before I kick off for the new year!

I finally picked up Postcards from the Edge by Carrie Fisher, and it was a great read. She’s really funny, and I’m glad she found a good guy at the end, though I haven’t read the sequel, so I’m just going to revel in the happy for now, regardless of what’s happened since.
I’d been meaning to read this for a while now. Yay!

Goal #1

Read for at least an hour every day.
I’d like to stop falling asleep to the tv (well, tv on my laptop), but rather to a book or magazine.
I did it!

Neither Here nor There

A book that, if you read it on public transport, people get nervous around you as you try not to start giggling as Bill Bryson travels through Europe. Now Sorrento and Capri are on my must go list of places as a result.
I had read it before, but after starting “Escape from Cubicle Nation” and then getting sick, I diverged to something light,interesting and very funny since I don’t feel up to self-analysis and business blah blah right now. Problem is if I laugh, it makes me cough.
Get feeling better and I will go back to Escape but not just yet.
Twilight.
1 week ago
Right now I’m ‘Twilight’ by Stephanie Meyer. I’m at page 317, and it’s so much better than the movie. At least I think so. I love the movie, but….the book..wow.
I’ve been reading it since August so I should have been done reading it a long time ago. I’m not a slow reader, I just have other things to do as well. Which is why I want to read more.
Making progress....

I’ve been reading a little each day and I am already half way through this book. :)
