Breaking Spines and Dogging Ears

Also, maybe I’ll read a book or two.

I’m horrible when it comes to reading books. I haven’t always been this way, but over the last couple of years it’s become harder and harder for a book to hold my interest. I start books all the time, but I just can’t stay involved in most of them. I think I finish maybe one out of every ten books I start.

I was talking online with a friend of mine the other day, and she keeps a list of all the books she reads over a one-year period, but it’s not a calendar year and it just so happens that the beginning of her new year is today. So, I thought it would be kind of interesting to see how many books I’ll wind up reading in the next 365 days.

And, yes, I’m still reading The Children of Men by P.D. James. And it’s really pathetic because it’s a thin book and should be a quick read.

I know I started it before September 1, but because I’m going to finish it after I’ve decided on this adventure, I’m still going to count it as my first book read between September 1, 2006, and August 31, 2007, which is a little bit of a cheat, I know.

I’m easing back into it, okay?
