Last January, after thinking about the hundreds of books that I want to read and how little time I have left (relatively) to get through all of them, I set a goal to read at least one book a month.
2006's book-a-month goal ended up being really reasonable and effective, and most months I got through two or three books. I didn't blog all of them though, because I kept forgetting and then of course there were some books that I didn't care to announce to the world (chick lit, etc.)
This year's book goal is to read 25 books in 2007. I just finished my first of '07: "Sex and the City", a compilation of Candace Bushnell's columns which later inspired the series. It's a relatively light read and perfect to take on a flight (I bought this version for about $7 in the airport) but that's not to discredit Bushnell's writing. She can be direct and breezy, in a good way, and she has a knack for nuance, presenting "just the facts" of a situation while letting you read between the lines and know just what she thought of it.
