One of my personal goals this year was to begin reading on a regular schedule again. I used to read a couple of books per week, but now I’m lucky if I can read half of a book in a week.  I still go to Borders and buy new books frequently.  Most of these books have been recommended to me by friends, book club choices or nosing around on Amazon.

I read right before bedtime and you can guess what happens next…after 10 minutes or so, I’m down for the count and I wake up the next morning with the book mysteriously resting on top of my face.

I am determined to change that this year.I’m no longer in a race with myself to see how fast I can finish a book.This is why I was happy when I learned about and eagerly signed up for the  Slow Readers Forum, founded by Diana of our.city.lights. We are currently reading Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls (the author of The Glass House).   After I finish Half Broke Horses, I will be reading The Glass Castle.  I recommend joining The Slow Readers forum if you are looking for a book club and you are pretty busy and devote time to reading a new book every couple of weeks.

Do you enjoy reading?  Do you have any recommendations?
