I'm in trouble already!!!!!! : - (

Okay -- I haven't even gotten half way through the month and already I'm behind! I haven't even started a new book -- lest than all come close to finishing one!

What is my response to being so seriously tardy already in my book reading endeavor? Well the old American way -- skating the rules! (Actually, can you really skate the rules when you make the rules?) I may just review something I read over the holidays.

Not exactly the intent of the exercise but, what the hell - at least I actually read it recently!

However I do have five more days before the 1st self imposed deadline -- time enough to read something! (At least it was in my youth!)

So who knows -- if the job from hell will behave itself for a bit, and if I pull my eyes away from the life sucking TV, I might still be able to do an honest job of it!

Stay tuned.....

26 Reviews

Yeah, it's not just 26 books read. It will also be 26 book reviews.

Now on this one I don't swear to do Pulitzer Prize work. The review might just be one line (i.e. Hated it!) or, if so moved, a latest King Kong sized epic.

Either way, there will be a review!

Now I just have to read something!

26 Books

26 books. That's how many I hope to read this year. 1 every two weeks.

Now admittedly, if you think about it, that's not a lot. But for someone like me, who used to be an avid reader but who somehow, over the last few years has become less and less so, it would be quite a triumph.

The question is -- can I rediscover the just plain joy of reading? That actually physical pleasure of moving the eyes across the page and taking each word into the brain?

That's where this blog comes in. It's my attempt to keep myself honest and answerable. After all if you're sharing the experience with the world (so to speak), it's not just a personal failure if it doesn't happen.

At least that's how I'm playing it for my monkey mind!
