My Sister's Keeper

The Time Traveler's Wife was an amazing, powerful yet sad book. I found myself reading at a slower pace out of fear of what was going to happen.

I'm onto my next book which apparently is also a bit sad.

The Time Traveler's Wife

We're heading out of town for NYE and because I'll be in a car for over 5 hours, I'm starting my resolution a bit early.

It's interesting that the first book I pick out is one that 2 of my close friends are also reading.

Inspiration for 2010 resolution

I read an interview by Michael Surtees over at Design Notes that has inspired me enormously. Michael interviewed Inaki Escudero about how he read 52 books in 52 weeks.

Myself as an avid reader couldn't believe I hadn't thought of this before. I tend to stick with the same 3-5 authors and decided to challenge myself. I will not choose any of the books that I read, instead friends, family and strangers will suggest them. I will then add it to my vase of suggestions and pick out a book to read for the week.

Many friends on facebook and twitter have already made their suggestions and 34 titles have been added.

Some challenges that I'm expecting to encounter:

- I will not have enough time in the week to read a book

- I may be tempted to just read and not do ANYTHING else

- I may want to read more than just one book a week. I'm a fast reader

We shall see how this all turns out - I'm excited about it. If you have any books to suggest, please do so!
