We have a rule at our house, that all books have to be read by a parent first. Bru Crew Dad is a fast reader, so he usually gets stuck with the books I don't want to read. He keeps a running list of books he reads each year, and tries to read a minimum of 25 books a year. For some of you, that may not seem like very many, but he reads books like "The Federalist Papers" and the "Histories" by Herodotus, so it isn't light reading. He also gets up early and runs a LOT! I am trying to expand my reading horizons and not just read fun fiction. I am also trying to do a better job of keeping track of what I've read, and what it's about. I have reread books in the past and been convinced I was reading them for the first time, only to remember what happens a little at a time as I read it.
Modern Mrs. Darcy has a reading challenge. This is her 9th year, but it is new to me. I am planning to join in the challenge this year, and see where it takes me. Care to join me? What are you reading right now? I just finished my first book of the year: "Ross Poldark" by Winston Graham.
