….you’ve ever found yourself in a situation where someone has said to you, “Jeez, how do you read so fast?” or, “I can’t believe you’ve already finished that book!” or “What are you reading TODAY?”
Then there’s my perennial favorite, uttered first and foremost by my mother and, since that fateful day, just about every envious incredulous roommate since: “Are you seriously….. blowdrying your hair…. and…reading??”
Yes. Yes I am.
Because, dear readers (I say this with irony as you currently number in the, oh, zero-region, but I have every confidence that my satirical wit, quirky reviews and self-deprecating humor will soon win your love and adoration), I JUST CAN’T STOP READING.
I read in the morning. I read at work on my lunch break if I’m in the middle of Twilight a really good book. I read whilst lazily reclining on my porch swing, on my couch, or enjoying a hot bath. And yes, I read while I’m blowdrying my hair in the morning. And I’m not ashamed to admit it.
So today starts my humble experiment.
I pledge to take my nose OUT of the book and share the joy that I’ve found in reading with you, the audience.
I pledge to tell you what I’ve been reading and…..
I pledge to tell you what I really think about it, not what someone else thinks I should have thought about it.
I pledge to continue in my theory that a book doesn’t have to be intellectual to be worth reading.
And, above all, I pledge to keep reading.
Just Can't Stop Reading
