Yet, somehow I find myself always hitting a wall sometime between May & June in my reading and not finding the ability to pick it up again until after the New Year.
I'm trying though. I really am.
The first part of the year the notable books I read incidentally were all very different types of books.
I read:
* Maps and Legends: Reading and Writing Along the Borderlands by Michael Chabon
* In The Garden Of The North American Martyrs: Stories by Tobias Wolfe
It's not an expansive list, and I wish it were more exhaustive. I do love reading. But there's so many distractions.
I had an epic fail with my attempt to read Brighton Rock by Graham Greene
- A month and only 40 pages in led me to stop.

I guess what this means is I need to prioritize my Spring 2011 reading so I get in what I really want to read. And maybe, if I'm optimistic (and focused) I can put a couple more, or at least one more, under my belt before year end.

You need to pick some fun books to read!
Amy, What do you mean -- you don't think these are fun?
What are you recommending?
