read two books a month

I’ll start with The Testament of Gideon Mack by James Robertson an then who knows from there! 2weeks starting . . .Now!

Sounds cheesy, but reading is really soul nourishing to me. It ranks right up there with beer and comfort food. I love well written fiction, and get completely attached to books. I just finished Foundation, by Isaac Asimov. Totally enjoyable. Next I’m going to read The Lyre of Orpheus, by Robertson Davies. Exciting!

Hmmm, I really haven’t checked on this goal though I have read two books a month —a bit more if I count the half-read books :P

So far, I’ve read:

1. Architecture and Design Library: Retro-Modern
2. Nick Stellino’s Glorious Italian Cooking
3. Burn Your Business Plan!
4. A Kid’s Guide to Creating Web Pages for Home and School
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I’m in the middle of reading:

1. French Women Don’t Get Fat
2. Shooting & Selling Your Photos
3. The Artist’s Way
4. Vegetable Gardening
5. Square Foot Gardening
6. Successful Business Planning in 30 Days
7. Basic Watercolor Techniques
8. Cien años de soledad (just started)

...and a long list of others on queue…

If you read every night before you go to sleep and you read something you enjoy, its easy

I can’t believe that I’ve neglected literature so much over the past few years. This month I read Youth by J.M. Coetzee and The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenidies. I recently began Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters and Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. I’m going to set a new goal of reading five books per month. Hopefully now that I’m back in the habit of reading every day, this will be easily completed.

I find myself re-switching my goal once again. I started with read more books onto read one book a month onto this one.
I’m currently working on two books, and I aim to read at least two books a month.

Good reading, everyone :)

I think I’m about ready to move up to three books a month. I’m getting through two with no problem.

I decided to change from read more books to this goal which is not as general and has a more specific timeline. I’m working on another book, but I haven’t put my hands on it yet :(
I guess I need to challenge myself on this, like give up tv for a while or something…

I’m reading a book on Centering Prayer. I’m also reading Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge. Not sure I can finish Captivating by the end of the month because I’m studying it in a group and we’re just doing 1 or 2 chapters a week.

I shut The Tao of Pooh for the last time last week, which means I need one more book to complete this goal for the month. The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem is my second book, another one I started a while ago and am just now finishing. The 100 pages or so left in it should only take another week, so I’m thinking of upping my goal to 3 books! Wish me luck. :]
