Have you set a reading goal for 2014? In previous years, I've attempted to read a book a week, something that would probably be more achievable if I weren't in school. I'm not complaining, though. Although I've never met my reading goal, except for a book or two, I've been pleased with my choices.
If you follow me on Goodreads, you've probably noticed that most of my ratings are 4 or 5 stars. I know some might be annoyed by that. What can I say? I enjoy most of what I read. If a book touches me personally, teaches me something, or makes me laugh, it's almost certain I'll give it a high rating.So, rather than set a number goal for 2014, I'm picking several titles from those scattered about my home. These are books that have traveled from room-to-room without being read, for no good reason. I need to read them!
Aside from these, we'll see what piques my interest.
Here's my short list.
Non-Fiction
A History of Women in America
The Particle at the End of the Universe
The Brain That Changes Itself
Across the Wire
In Her Wake
Fiction
Dr. Zhivago
Les Miserables
The Satanic Verses
The House of Spirits
Wench
What's on your list?
You are by far the most well read person I know. I've never seen anyone read more. I've never really made any reading goals because I'm always reading. Right now it's non fiction books about writing. I do have a Latino lit short story book I want to get to next. I've been devouring short stories lately.
ReplyDeleteLetty, Thank you. I don't know why, exactly, but I've always had a really hard time getting into short stories. Flash fiction, too. The shortest I can read without feeling like I'm missing something is a novella. You'll have to share some of what you're learning from your books about writing!
