I've always loved reading. Lucky for me growing up, my version of Christmas morning happened on the first day of every month during the school year, when the teacher would place the Scholastic Book Club catalog underneath our desks. If you were born in the 80s, you know what I'm talkin' about! My parents generously allowed me to order several books a month and I took full advantage.
I read everything I could get my hands on... Goosebumps, the American Girl series, Babysitters Club, Nancy Drew... then I was onto more serious themes in my early teens... 1984, Of Mice and Men, To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies, The Great Gatsby... enter college cheesiness.... Jen Lancaster, Nicholas Sparks, Danielle Steele (I just admitted that, wow)... then onto young adult... David Sedaris, Ernest Hemingway... and now I'm into it all plus a little enlightenment and business related prose.
Despite my love of reading, I don't get around to it as much as I'd like. Take tonight for example: I really wanted to spend a few hours reading. Instead, I spent a few hours researching books that I want to read. I had the best of intentions but I just didn't get around to actually reading anything except book reviews. Counter productive at it's finest.
Well, at least I got a good reading intentions list out of it. Below are some books on my radar. Do you have any books that you can recommend to me or have you read any of the below? I like it all: fiction, historical, thriller, romance, political, the classics, enlightenment, comedy. Bring it! The book recommendations that is...
