read for pleasure

This is the book I’m indulging in right now. It’s about a man and his struggles and triumphs during rehab. I’m only about 50 pages in right now, but it’s a good read. The author’s writing style is untraditional, and it keeps you into the text as you concentrate on who is speaking, etc. I’m enjoying it, though, and like that I don’t have to overanalyze it for a class.

Speaking of class, though, another book that I have on my “to read” list is The Road from Coorain. I read an excerpt from it in class and now I’m interested in reading the entire text.

I love to read; I absolutely love it! I’m an English Literature major and Political Science minor, however, and both of these require a GREAT deal of reading. With this said, I rarely have time to read a book that I want to.

At the beginning of the year, I made a list of books that I planned to read each month in addition to my required school reading. I was able to keep up with that list for the first few months, but now I am taking a full courseload over the summer and working 20 hours a week, therefore, I don’t have time to read as much as I’d like.

Also, this list of books required great thought and I wasn’t really enjoying them. SO.. I’ve thrown out the reading list and have decided to read whatever strikes my fancy. :)

Great book! I am re-reading it as we are planning a move to “the country”!

I wish I had time to pick up a book and just read for pleasure. Most of the reading I do now are for my college course, but I would love to sit someplace without being disturbed and lose myself in a good book.

Am on book 7 of the Harry Potter series. They have been so much fun to read!

...to reignite my love of reading; to improve my writing; to always find time for personal growth

I’ve been doing a lot of it for the last month, and i do plan to spend my before-bed time doing more of it this year.

Just finished ‘After Dark’ Marukami, and i’m reading Chopra’s Buddha at present.
Now that i’ve got an address i’ll start getting mail and then i can get a library card here at the city library, but in the meantime i do have a card at the college library that i plan to start using for some recreational reading as well as for tech stuff.

Good luck everyone with your reading plans!

I have wanted to read the articles on sound/speech and the dynamic shift between listening and playing amateur music for a long time.
Lots of good threads here.

I also just saw a new book on language that chronicles people living in a remote part of israel who speak using a common sign language.

I would still like to learn ASL at some point.. ooo! New goal!

was awesome.
Its actually a bit dated, but only because everyone that is interested in sci-fi-comdedy has copied it.

I hope that in the end i explode too, that would be a good way to go.

SO GOOD

That is all.
