Not that summer means a lot of free time for me–my busiest time of the year is from May through October–but I have been trying to keep up with one of my goals I set for myself this year: reading a book a month. So far, so good…though I’m not sure if I’ll finish the book I’m reading this month in the next two weeks…we’ll see.
I’ve enjoyed the challenge of this goal, as it’s made me set aside time to read, something I enjoy doing anyway but often neglect for other things. I don’t know if I would be reading as much as I am. As for what I like to read, it’s mostly fiction…and from the looks of it, I especially like 19th century Russian writers. I admit it, I have a fondness for the classics, but I’m also open to reading good new fiction. To keep track of what I’m reading, I’ve been using goodreads.com. If you are on it and want to befriend me…yes, another social networking website…feel free to find me here. I also welcome book suggestions!

Heather - Love all of those selections – haven’t ventured into the world of Turnegev yet. Maybe I will tackle him next year.
Happy reading!
Mark - How do you have time? A book a month? WOW, thats awesome, I havent finished the one I started in Jan, LOL
Kara - Good for you. Sorry, I have no desire to read any of those books… well, maybe the G. K. Chesterton one. 19th century Russian writers don’t really interest me, I guess. Nor Jane Austen. I read Eragon this summer. 🙂
