Do you remember my goal list for 2012? Reading more was one of my goals, and I’ve stuck with it pretty well. I wanted to read an average of a book per month. I know other people who devour books on a weekly basis, but my schedule doesn’t allow for that, sadly.
I read Bird by Bird in January/February and Blue Like Jazz in February/March. I just wrapped up Great House, which held some enlightening and intuitive passages, but I am now ready for a change of pace.
On my way home from work today I finally snagged a copy of A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway. It’s one of those that always seems to be checked out, but today was my lucky day. There are still a few others on my waiting list that I can never seem to catch, like The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides, or On the Road by Jack Kerouac.
After this I think I’ll either read Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott or The Writing Life by Annie Dillard.
So. What are you reading right now?
