Putting the "reading" back in "I like reading"

So, like many people I know, I am a person who likes to read, but am often too lazy/ADD/busy/tired to do so. I am trying to change that, though, so this week I started reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. Well, re-reading (ya know, 'cause I have no undread books waiting for me). It is a damn good book, and I highly recommend it! In fact, if you are in Gunma, it is likely that I will force you to read it 'cause it's good, and short, so you can read it in like ten seconds.

After I finish that, I am going to borrow The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time from Grant-san, which I have been meaning to read for a while now (yay free copy!).

So yes, if you have any book recommendations for after I read that, I would definitely appreciate them. No, this is not a ploy to make people post comments on my blog ;) I may do a marathon of you're-not-a-real-American-if-you-haven't-read-this-book books, such as Catcher in the Rye, Grapes of Wrath, Great Gatsby, etc. I really have no idea how I have lived this long without reading those, but whatever. Then again, my Che biography is calling to me, as well. Hmmm.

Anyway, if you have any book recommendations, lemme know! Arigats.

I am totally with you on the reading. I always INTEND to read, but I never get around to it. Once I do get into a book, however, it is hard for me to put it down. I have started reading A Fine Balance. I'll let you know if it's good. Yay, book swaps!
