July 28, 2010I'm about to admit something that is quite pathetic, considering I have a Masters degree and feel I am somewhat intelligent. I sat down and read a book today... for pleasure. I think it's been at least five, yes five, years since I hunkered down and read a book just because I wanted to. I used to read all the time. Jeff even asked where his wife was - the wife that doesn't read books for fun. But when you read reports and scientific journals all day at work and then go home to read textbooks and children's books before bedtime, reading another book is the last thing you want to do. Since I have no clue what's the latest fad in reading these days, I asked my sister to give me something, thinking in all reality I wouldn't get past the first few chapters before having to change a diaper and that I wouldn't finish it. She asked if I was a fast reader, which I responded yes. So she handed me this book. I finished it in less than 24 hours... without staying up late and totally ignoring my children either. I guess I still do remember how to read. And that I enjoy it.
You should read the hunger games. It's an easy read and can definitely be read in 24 hours easy. It's a good book and it's addicting.
ReplyDeleteLove this book. Also, Simple Truth by Jodi P. is a good one, too. And I only get to read for pleasure when my kids are off track. That way I can stay up late reading without being too mean the next morning (since I can sleep in a bit longer!). :) PS-Highly recommend the Hunger Games, too.
