Books 2010

Not a bookworm by far, sometimes I go months without reading, it really depends on my mood, but but but but I AM ...a lover of books. It started only when I was 19. I read before that, mostly school assignments, or I had a couple childhood favourites, which I actually get into here, but really I dont feel that I got it, why people love books, until then. I read a few Stephen King books (shameful?), one is still a favourite of mine, and then I got into Kurt Vonnegut, and Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger. I reread Catcher in the Rye, a book which in highschool I thought was Stupid, with a capital S. Now I think I could eat up anything by J.D.Salinger. I see it all in a new light. I love words, and how they help me think. If I read something, and strongly disagree with the author, I still appreciate how it cements my feelings. That now I know what I think. And I can see the ways in which others will relate... or not. It is a love really.

365/27 = 13.5 or about a book every 2 weeks. I think for next year I would like to be at about 1 a week, but I've always been a leisurely reader soooooo no pressure.
