read a book every two weeks

Reading more is n my to-do list. I will accomplish it, I am sure!

I haven’t been reading much, and I’ve decided to make my goal a bit more specific. Well, it isn’t any different but it’s easier to visualize. There are 17 weeks left of 2009, so reading a book every two weeks would mean that I would read 8,5 books during the rest of the year. So that’s my goal!

There are periods when I read a lot, but sometimes I just spend too much time online doing nothing or watching bad TV instead of grabbing a book.

I would like to finish one book every two weeks. I prefer to read in English, even though it’s not my first language, to keep my skills up. I have lots of books that are just waiting, some are my boyfriend’s. Some I would like to read this year:

José Saramago: Blindness
James Joyce: Dubliners
Eric Idle: The Greedy Bastard Diary
Jeffrey Eugenides: Middlesex
Betty Smith: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Jeff Noon: Automated Alice
Sylvia Plath: The Bell Jar
F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Suggestions on interesting books are welcome. I like to read about different places and times.

i just finished reading this book, its great, very funny, and you recognise some of the stories from the show, and Mr Big is just ab-so-fucking-lutley amazing

i have a great library of books from the lifeline festival, im reading jodi picoult at the moment
i need to start watching less tv and start reading more

Just bought this book at borders today, along with a how to get organized book for $25.

Goal: finish GS&G before May 22nd!

will have about 6 hours of train ride btwn now and then, plus a lot of subway time.

Not the most taxing thing ever, but just what you need after a hard day.

Just finished the new cross book, great read if you like murders and alike.

Been reading lots this summer and plan to continue. Rather then write about them in 2 places, I will track what I’ve read at Good Reads.
