It's cutting into my work and blogging time.<BR/><BR/>I spent most of the Bush Administration reading as much escapist sci-fi fiction as possible, or medieval mysteries. I think my book count for last year was about 198 or so. <BR/><BR/>I need to read more non-fiction stuff, and do more work!<BR/><BR/>(BTW, currently reading: A Perfect Red)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974012.post-83609643617901827572009-01-08T12:14:00.000-05:002009-01-08T12:14:00.000-05:00I'm two books away from finishing Ian Rankin's Joh...I'm two books away from finishing Ian Rankin's John Rebus series of crime novels. Then I'm going to review the entire series on my blog. There's a certain significance to this in that Rankin aged his protagonist in real time, and the latest Rebus novel is the one in which he retires. If there's another Rebus novel, he'll be working outside the auspices of the police force.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's my reading plan for the next two months. After that, I'm going to delve into some P.K. Dick, and then get back to reading some Thomas Hardy, try out some George Eliot. That'll probably get me through June. <BR/><BR/>After that, who knows? I've got 6 shelves full of books and graphic novels, about a third of which I haven't read. Maybe I'll hit the non-fiction section harder. I've wanted to read The Liar's Club and Cherry for quite some time.ctheokashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157874716864876157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974012.post-68879394950628018112009-01-06T14:22:00.000-05:002009-01-06T14:22:00.000-05:00Me, sent?
