WASHINGTON (AP) -- There it sits on your nightstand, that book you've meant to read for who knows how long but haven't yet cracked open. Tonight, as you feel its stare from beneath that teetering pile of magazines, know one thing -- you are not alone.
My goal of reading 25 books this year has fallen short as I've just gotten through ten so far.  I had wanted to surpass my pace of reading a book a month in 2006 so at least I'm on track to do that.  But still, I'm feeling guilty.  I don't even feel consoled by this article, which states:

"One in four adults say they read no books at all in the past year, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll released Tuesday....The typical person claimed to have read four books in the last year -- half read more and half read fewer. Excluding those who hadn't read any, the usual number read was seven."

I have a little over four months left.  Maybe I can get to 15?
