Book Club!
I have a terrible habit that I’d like to break. I’ve been known to pick up stacks of books from the bookstore with excited anticipation only to read about 250 of a 350 -page novel. It’s sad really how noncommittal I’ve become when it comes to reading. I wasn’t always this way. I used to be the kind of gal who picked up a book and didn’t put it down. I was a bookworm by definition, consuming books as if they were food—food for thought that is :)
I’m not sure how my habits changed, but I think it might have had something to do with the Internet. I mean it’s so easy to get distracted by EVERYTHING on the web. Blogs, social networks, online magazines, etc… I love that I can connect with friends and find other ways to be creative, but let’s face it the Internet can be a gigantic time suck.
Well, I’ve decided to do something about my reading habits. I want a change. I along with a few friends have started a book club and today we had our first meeting. We’ve picked about eight books that we plan to read and review within the following months. As geeky as it may sound, I’m really looking forward to diving deep into some literature :)
