little bitty girl

Someone asked me about my expectation to read more books in the new year. They wanted to know how it's possible since I read an average of four books per week.

I guess the bad thing about being a speed reader is that it makes less of an excuse to read less than that amount. Since I read so quickly, I also read a fair amount of "junk food" books. You know the kind, feeds the craving but has no real substance so I usually don't count those as "real" books. (Sorry, bestseller lists out there!) However, they are absolutely essential in cleansing the mind before reading something substantial. After all, no one wants to be maudlin all the time.

Anyways, I just think there are so many books in the world and I should try to read as many as I possibly can before I die. That's all....

I still won't read the Russians though.
