Zoom

by Jodifur on December 26, 2007

I read so fast, Doug calls me Zoom. I can read a book in an hour, sometimes two.
I had planned to read, The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing on January 10, day to read.

DAY TO READ campaign - January 10, 2008


Jen, read this post, and told me I had to read this book. And she wanted me to read it so badly, she sent it to me. Free. A Brand new book from amazon waiting for me. (She had my address because we exchanged holiday cards). How sweet is that? She just, sua sponte (yes, I'm a lawyer), sent me a book. It was so unexpected and I was beyond touched. I wanted to pay her for it, but she would not let me. She just told me to read it and enjoy. How could I not oblige?
So I did, I read it in a day. I loved it! At first I wasn't sure about the premise. It's a bunch of short stories, but all with the same characters and takes place at different times in their lives. It was clever, funny, and touching, and I can't wait to find more books from the author.
And if you don't read Jen, you really should. She is like the little sister I never had. (Just goes to show you how old I am).
But, the question remains, what will I be reading January 10? Luckily, my sister in law bought me Stephen Colbert's, I am America and So Can You. It is laugh out loud funny. And since he is still off the air for another week, it fills my Colbert void. Unless I finish that prior, I'll be reading that.
What will you be reading?

This post touched me. Thank you. I’m SO glad you liked it. She has another that is also good called Wonderspot. On January 10 (and before) I’ll be finishing Pride and Prejudice. Then I’ll read Eat, Pray, Love.

I still haven’t read Girl’s Guide. Need to add that to the pile. I’ve got a plane ride without the kids next week so I’m looking forward to lots of uninterrupted reading time.

Oh, the Colbert book is soooooo wonderfully funny. I have it on audiobooks and I have to press pause so I can laugh uproariously and not miss the next line.
I am a zoom reader too. Zoom! Zoom!
