netchemo is working on finding his passion in life
I enjoy learning. Reading is a great way to learn and spend some quiet, leisure time. I intend to read one book (or more) a month for the next six months.
How I did it: I got a library card! Not only was I surprised at the selection, the library seems to have made some great technological advances since the last time I stepped foot in one... like online accounts and self-checkout. Having to either renew or return books every three weeks or so is a good force-reminder to read them. Over the past four months I've read two Haruki Murakami books, Graham Greene's The Quiet American, and book of mountaineering… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Except from when I was sick I have been reading several books a month for a while now. It's been easy because I'm an indoor person and I love to read:) Also, when you borrow a book from the library, I think it's a bit reckless coming back with it after a month having not read it; you keep others from reading it, and you wear it out.

How I did it: I started working 3rd shift tech support and have been reading two or three books a WEEK since starting the job! I downloaded ebooks and brought them in to work on CD and it made things so much easier Read how I did it…

I just finished ‘Twenties girl’ by Sophie Kinsella :)
It was very interesting, the characters were lovable and the topic of a 1920’s ghost in search of her lost necklace is fun.
Aphrodite MF PYTrente coming soon....
Yeah I fell off the band-wagon…need to find the next book quick….
Amy Taylor has been working harder to work towards her goals.
Since ‘The Hobbit’ has taken me so long to read i believe it wouldn’t be fair to use it towards Novembers book.
So heres to December! Lets just hope i can finish ‘The Hobbit’ before then!

I read The Golden City. Took me less than a week. It’s an easy read, sweeps you along well. Read the review at allconsuming.

I just finished a book tonight which I believe is now my favorite book. Period.
It is called Holding Still For As Long As Possible by Zoe Whittall. It was amazing. It included a lot about paramedics and also really went into the gay community which I liked a lot as I am still experimenting in this department and feel such a connection to that world that the author presents. Toronto setting, the community all these relationships interconnected.

“How can you always make sure it is one you'll enjoy? Do you just keep several on hand?”
