Finished my 7th book (one minute manager) today (7th non-academic book in my life time). Started it a long time ago, read through most of it on day one. But somehow just never picked it up again. Starting my 8th today (Noam Chomsky)

How I did it: I take a book on every flight. I read from the time after security control until at least the "fasten seat belt" sign goes off, and again from the descent until getting off the plane. I often just keep reading the whole flight. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I looked up books that really interested me and topics that i am interested in. Once I did that I couldn't stop reading them! It's a lot easier to read when its a book that you are truly interested in. I hope I can help you Read how I did it…

Zelda: A Biography by Nancy Milford
I loved this book but then I love biography’s, especially when they are about such interesting people as Zelda & Scott.
Becca I think my goals need to be more specific
- I re-read Clumsy by Jeff Brown (I think?). But that barely counts because it’s a graphic novel and thus took one evening to read.
- I feel like there was something else I finished reading but damned if I can remember what it was. A Tom Robbins book, maybe? I have almost his entire bibliography and I just don’t like him that much. Feh.
- Still plugging my way through Epilogue. I’m not overly keen on the writer’s style so even though it’s a short book, it’s hard for me to get through. Soon!
than what I expected. Finished Wifey by Judy Blume last night. I read most of her children’s books growing up and let’s just say with Wifey she stepped out of the children’s store and made a bee line to the porn store and totally enjoyed herself!
This is going to be hard once I start school again but for now I’m reading Ghettonation… pretty good. First time I’ve picked up a book for recreation in quite some time.

Just finished The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, it was a good read but I’m wondering if I should see the movie. I’ve discovered that the book is always better than the movie.
