Read a book for at least 1 hour every day

I study now. Just like this girl I don’t have time to read, despite on reading is my favorite hobby…
I like to discover new books. Liked Murakami, but not all of it…
They say, there are two of them…
Anyway, all I want is some time to relax. I’ll try to organize my life a bit different to achieve my goal.

Haruki Murakami is really good. This was not as good as “The Wind-up Bird Chronicle”, but still very good. I didn’t like it for the first 30 pages, but then I got used to the different stories. I think every one of the three stories (Kafka, Nakata/Hoshino, The Reports) was a favourite at least once. Now, I’m moving on to Klas Östergren’s “Gangsters”. I’m looking forward to it but I fear Östergren has grown old in a bad way. I still consider “Fantomerna” (1978) his best book.

I’m also reading Dick Gabriel’s “Writer’s Workshop” book, and “Generative Programming”. But reading such books were not really the intention with this list entry. And Emma (and other friends of mine) are keeping close tabs on me to make sure I take some time off. But Emma’s sleeping now…

Solo travel is great for reading.

I’ve found, now that I read more systematically (and keep track of it on AC) that I feel less guilt about buying books.

Not while travelling in the US though, since books here are cheap and baggage allowances limited.

I’ve hardly read for the past two days. Well, Teen Vogue annd Hello! Magazine shouldn’t count. So I guess I should read extra tonight.

Today I read Chaucer’s Book of the Duchess.
Also, I’ve only about 30-40 pages left of the Rochester biography and hope finish it before I go to sleep.

Today I’ve spent all my meals and all the time in the loo reading the Rochester biography. Not sure how much it adds upp to, but since I’m going to bed I’m pretty sure I can fit in at least 20 more minutes before I pass out.

Yesterday I read all of Size 12 Is Not Fat.
Took perhaps three, four hours.
Quite entertaining, but in acute opposition to my plan of also becoming an early riser.

Yup, given that I’ve been manically reading Meg Cabot this term, I think I’m now actually more or less reading a couple of hours a day.

Challenge would be to keep it up of course, now that term’s over. Like now. Stop procrastinating, pick up Chaucer. That kinda thing.

I’ll consider this goal reached when I’ve done it for a few more months. Gotta create a routine or it’ll never work.
