one of my internet friends passed along this link to “14 ways to cultivate a lifetime reading habit.” y’all may be able to tell from all of my books posts that I am a big reader – and I thought this was especially timely after an email from friend Kathleen telling me that she’s read 27 books so far this year – putting her well on her way to her goal of 50! Rock out with your bad self, Kathleen!
I would say that 10 of the tips on that list I do already, and the other four would require having a kid, buying books from used book stores (or having a local used book store), or scheduling times for reading. Scheduling time for reading has never been the problem… it’s the scheduling time for SLEEPING that gets me!
i have a problem going to sleep too! there are always so many other things going on.
i am at 18 books so far but i don’t count all the craft books i read. maybe i should start!
you totally should count them! if you read it, you get to count it. if I count all of the YA novels I read (like little morsels of candy) then you can count craft books.
and yeah: I’ve always been bad at going to sleep. what if I miss a parade?
29 Books!! We shall see. The problem now is that I am listening and reading sue grafton. I think I have to switch one of them otherwise I will totally get confused who is doing what when and where! May be I need to read one of the books from the 100 most influential – but I don’t think so in the summer.
influential books are not really the best summer reading, unless you’re alone on a beach for a week somewhere!
