Read. It's Way Past Cool

books

Ever since I started spending more time, than is good for me, on the internet my book reading has suffered. Whole months went by when I didn’t pick up a book let alone finish one. Me, not reading doesn’t fit into my image of who I am. I started keeping lists of all the books I read. I thought it would be a sort of motivational force.

Thus- In 2007 I read 33 books. In 2008 I read 44 books. So far in 2009 I’ve already read 10 books

Apart from motivation the lists help me remember the names of books I want to read again or authors whom I want to read more of. I get my book reading ideas from the book club I belong too, the CBC, and while browsing the stacks at the library.

Go to my What I'm Reading page to see what I’ve read. I would love for you to send over the names and authors of any books you’ve enjoyed reading, I’m open to all suggestions

I'm trying to keep annual lists of the books I read, too. You read a lot more than I do!

I just finished the Chronicles of Narnia, Sula by Toni Morrison and Gap Creek by Robert Morgan. I really liked Sula and want to read more of Morrison's work. I don't recommend Gap Creek.
