I've always described myself as a seasonal reader. I read books back-to-back, and then go through periods of absolutely no book reading unless it's "required". I haven't had required reading in while and so, the past several years, I read zero books... probably also because television shows are movies are so easily accessible now. I decided to put an end to this last year.
Book that broke the fast was The Secret Life of Bees; took me about 6 months to finish it. I read a total of 3 books in 2013.
For 2014, my goals is 10 books. Not ambitious by itself, however, decent in comparison to last year, in my opinion. I've mostly been focusing on non-fiction books, motivational or self-help type. I've read 8 books this year so far.
Moving onto a lighter read now - Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. A #1 New York Times Bestseller, but has its share of bad reviews. Not an issue. Because... I prefer to form my own opinion, and because... I often end up finding something good in everything.
So far, I like the short chapters. I'm only 28 pages and 9 chapters in.
