Reading anything good lately?
This is my favorite question to ask or to be asked. There is just something I love about knowing what other people are reading. I read a lot. And it dawned on me recently that my reading habits are not entirely normal. I read when I'm curious, relaxed, tired, bored, busy. I also read to avoid doing other things like the laundry! I'm a moody reader. I don't read one book at a time. I usually have one fiction and at least two non-fiction books going at once. I blame this on too many years in college. The difference between now and college, however, is that in college I had to go to class and discuss what I was reading. I'm afraid I burn through things too quickly now and don't process information as thoroughly as I should. Granted, I have a few other things going on in my life now than I did in college including a husband, three kids, a dog, a cat, and a house to keep from falling down around me. But that is no excuse! So here is my attempt to think about what I am reading and to reacquaint myself with the process of writing which, for me, has faded away in a world of brief emails, facebook posts and quick notes to teachers. (And apparently, to practice my spelling! Geesh! I would have never guessed reacquaint was spelled that way!!) This will also hopefully be a journal of what I have read. Something I can use at the library when someone comes up and says, "I need something to read. Any suggestions?"
