I [l o v e] to Read

"Real luxury is time & opportunity to read for pleasure."

~Jane Brody

From liebigpartie

I thought I'd change it up a wee bit and focus more on what I'm reading NOW rather than what I've read over the past two years...er, whatever...20 months.  Naturally, as time passes and life happens, your goals adjust and you notice that certain things are not as important as they were before.  Things like...realizing that it's not that important to read those 50 books before your 30th birthday.  (Granted, I will hit that goal while I'm 30, so hey, I still win..)
