Reading to No End

I think another post about the joy of reading is in order.

Since I started reading again seven or so months ago, I haven't stopped. I read all four Twilight books in no time and since then I've read two more novels and then read some short stories and now I'm onto another novel. One of Jason's sister's favorites is called "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Friend." I've only read the first chapter so far, but so far I'm really liking the tone. Thanks for the recommend, Steph. I've gotten to the point now that I can't go to sleep soundly without reading ten or so pages of a book. I love wiping everything stressful out of my mind and entering a fantasy world for just that little bit of time before I get too sleepy to keep my eyes open. It's a new world that I'm very happy to be part of. I really think this blog has had a lot of do with my renewed enthusiasm to read.

Another positive has sprung from this positive experiment of ours.

Reading's Delightful

I love that I can say what I'm about to say again, it's been 10 years since I've been able to truly say that I enjoy reading a good book. I hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying this only 100 pages into the first novel I've really enjoyed in a long while. I did finish reading two other books this past year, one being the Jenna Jameson Bio "How to Make Love like a Porn Star" and "Lovely Bones." Both were pretty good and I was happy I got through them, but neither one truly captured my attention like "Twilight" is doing right now. I feel like others might think I'm reading a teeny bopper book, but it's not and I feel a lot of older women would enjoy it and probably have. It does give you dirty thoughts about hot teenagers. I haven't enjoyed reading like this since I read the VC Andrew's Dawn series in High School, there might have been a few other small delights along the way that I can't recall. Hopefully I keep it up...this blog entry could be a healthy motivator. Reading a beautifully written novel is a wonderful thing. Falling asleep now, losing my abilty to type...Goodnight!
