I have too many classics I got free from school a good 6 years ago, and have never read a single one. I feel ashamed.

January 1st I’m going to start reading one, and little by little I’ll do it.

I know I read at least 10 books, not sure if I made my goal. It had to be close.

It’s 2006 already? oops.

how many shall i read in 2006?

I’m a youth services librarian, so I have to read for my job. Luckily, I’m a fast reader, so I can get through most of what I have to read. The problem is finding time for all the other books that I want to read…

I started off the year a bit slow, but I completed my goal of 15 books this year. I’ve been keeping track of them at this entry and will continue to do so through the end of the year.

Of the 15 1/2, 13 1/2 were non-fiction and two were fiction. Considering how much fiction I’ve read in the last few years (not much!), two is actually quite a few. :)

Unfortunately, when I get busy with my own writing, I neglect my reading, except the books Im doing for research. Im working on a poker playing heroine right now, so Im reading a couple books about body language, poker tells and sharks (you don’t wanna know)

2. Emotions Revealed—Paul Ekman

3. Big Hair and Flying Cows—Dolores Wilson (I met her in St. Louis. She’s a lovely, hilarious woman)
