I was on a message board recently where we were all talking about books we were reading. Someone posted that they were envious of the fact that I have so much time to read. I hadn't really thought about that before, but once it was pointed out to me, I realized that for some time now, I've been reading a new book every other day. Upon further examination, it seems completely sensible - I take a bus and a train in the morning and again in the afternoon, plus I read at lunch, plus there is often some downtime between getting off the train in the evening and getting on the bus. So I have at least an hour and usually more like 90 minutes each day to read. And lately, I have been reading a lot of light fluffy fun books, which makes for even quicker reading.
I started to do a book queue like the one Rod has on his site, but it seemed like a lot of work to keep up with if I'm reading four books a week. Then again, maybe that'll make me pay more attention to the blog, who knows.
Obviously, this habit ain't cheap. So I'm doing bookcrossing and book relays - both of which mean that I can pass along books and get books passed on to me. It's great! Also, I have been buying book lots on eBay, which let me get loads o'books for cheap prices, and then trade the ones I might get doubles of! Again, super!!
So, if you have any books you want to recommend - or lend - lemme know. I've got oodles of reading time.
Never let anyone tell you that you have too much time to read. I do the same thing. I ride with someone to work so I read. I read while waiting for dinner, standing in lines somewhere. I always carry a book. And I love trading at Bookcrossing and Bookrelay.
