Read all day, if you can.

Because I knit so much, I don’t read as often as I would like and my recent attempt with an audio book, as I reported here, was less than successful.

The one thing I do read daily is the NYtimes.com and that’s where I read about  Nina Sankovitch, who has been reading one book per day for 353 days, the ultimate goal being one book per day for 365 days.

It’s a fascinating little article and I found her blog where she posts daily reviews of each book read, even more interesting. It actually prompted me to go online to see if my local library had The English Major available. I was intrigued when Nina wrote in her review of the book, “Jim Harrison is a writer who always pleases.” Absolutely true.

So now I’ve been happily reading this book for the past couple of days. There is no way I’m going to be able to read one book per day but it’s fun to be reading interesting fiction again and reading for the sheer joy of reading.
