My Book Life, Revisited
Back in July I let you know of my resolution to read, during 2006, an average of one book per week. At the time I was already six books behind schedule but I was confident that I was going to manage it. Now though, with just two weeks of the year to go and my count at 40, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to make it, but I'm fairly satisfied nonetheless. →

As part of my (actually now-floundering) attempt to read an average of one book per week, I've been spreading my reading about, taking in books by authors who I feel I ought to have read but haven't (Hemmingway, Greene), translated literature by foriegn authors I've never heard of (Calvino, Gutiérrez) and current popular fiction (Safran-Foer, Niffenegger). There's also one, dreaded category that I touch upon only rarely: books that have been on my shelf and remained unread, in some cases for up to fifteen years. →
