I was reading a friend's livejournal* and there was a comment to one of his entry saying, "You should __________(I don't remember the title of the book), it is on my top fifthteen favorite books of all time."
If I had to make a top fifthteen favorite books of all time, every book I ever read would be on there. :O I usually only read books for class. I start books outside of class, but I rarely finish them. TV is easier to waste time with, even though I hate watching the latest weight loss and smashmouth backup song commercials.
I want to read more for pleasure. Reading books makes me feel more accomplished at the end of the day/week/month/year/life. I also need to adapt to reading more for my major, sociology. That is like half of my major, reading.
My history teacher from the tenth grade, Mr Mac, used tell me he would set book quota every year. He would try to read 20 books a year. So I have decided I will set an annual book quota for myself.
five fiction. two nonfiction. by the end of the year.
Books on my list (bold = finished, italic=currently reading)
Fiction-Trauma, Bow Grip, Transparent, The Indian Clerk, Mississippi Sissy
Nonfiction-Cadillac Desert, What the Nose Knows
*The same girl, whom left the comment, writes livejournal as "eljay." I admire this girl and I am really sorry about the past. I was mean to her for a long time. :(
