I promised myseld that i was going to spend more time reading as i realized that this is something that really helps me relax and I don't spent nearly enough time at these days. Part of it started last year when my glasses were screwed up, I couldn't see and reading a print book was actually painful. I've had a Kindle for a while but I have this weird thing about "If it's not a hard copy of a book, it's nor real." which I am slowly conquering. And I also found several places where I can get books that are either free or inexpensive so I'm doing better.

As much as I love reading, I can't say that I'm soneone who has read the classics. I've never read Dickens save for A Christmas Carol, I own Anna Karenina but I only made it through the first hundred or so pages because Tolstoy goes a long way to say very little as far as moving a plot, I've never attempted Jane Austen so sometimes I feel like I'm not a "real" book lover. I can't have long, detailed conversations about the books that someone somewhere think are the 1000 books you should read before you die. Every year though I promise myself that I'm going to hit at least one of those books and this yearr I picked To Kill A Mockingbird.
