I've read 375 this year, but there is No Way I could have done it if I had kids. No way. Seriously. Reading Beatrix Potter with my niece took 45 minutes! You've probably already figured this stuff out, but it's possible to read while using the electric toothbrush, stirring soup, and walking down the street. I don't recommend it while bicycling, though, especially not in the rain. You are a champion!

Now, I barely have time to even read at least 5 books a month, (I know, it's pathetic!) but your goal and determination sort of motivated me to try to read more, no matter what. And the reading during a traffic light stop? That's hilarious! I wish you all the best in your mission!

Not sure if I saw a Hardy in there or not. If there is not one, I am highly disappointed. Hardy is the best. But I was encouraged to see some Maugham. Why not some Collins? Yes, Moby Dick is quite the whaling manual. I think about 1/4 of the book is actual narrative. I skimmed. Not sure if I saw a Hardy in there or not. If there is not one, I am highly disappointed.

I can collect books and enjoy having them, as well as re-reading the ones I love best. I enjoyed 'The Wind In The Willows', years ago, and still own a copy. I always wanted to write my own, and finally did. It is called "Outcasts of Skagaray" and was written to make a happy outcome out of a miserable situation. If you ever feel like reading it, I would love to hear your opinion. I love to read, too. I can collect books and enjoy having them, as well as re-reading the ones I love best.
