I've never really been a reader. I love the idea of being an avid reader, but I can never seem to really get into it. I also love the look of books. Now I will say, I've read plenty of books and all of the classics (thanks to St. Mary's), but reading for pleasure has never really been my thing.
When T and I went to Italy last May, I asked my mom if I could borrow her Kindle because I was in the middle of reading the help, but didn't want to lug that huge book all over Italy. I loved reading on the kindle. To me, it went by so quick. Maybe it's because I don't see the amount of the book that's remaining? It's more of a mystery (percentage) how much is left and not as daunting? Maybe the visual person I am just likes the unknown of how long a book really is?
Over the holidays I acquired my own Kindle and I read 3 books on it in a week! That's some kind of record for me. It was the Hunger Game series (quick read), but I also think the Kindle itself attributed to my finishing so quickly.
This year (as kind of a new years resolution) I've set a goal for myself on number of books to read. At first I was going to do 20, but decided to start small at 12. One book per month. Seems doable for me. Technically I read all 3 Hunger Games book in 2012, so I'm already at 3!
I have a couple books on the list to read next, but has anyone read a quick and really good book lately? I'm open for suggestions--fiction or non-fiction!

all by Andrew Peterson
life of pi by yann martel. high fidelity by nick hornby. anything by bill bryson...a walk in the woods, the lost continent, i'm a stranger here myself, in a sunburned country. his books are hilarious and so interesting, they are all about his travels around the world.
I recommend Unbroken and Same Kind of Different As Me. Both are true stories and good reads.
I've been reading Robbins' Basic Pathology for the last 9 months or so. The chapter on hemodynamic disorders, thrombosis, and shock is my fave (especially when von Willebrand factor causes platlet aggregation after endothelial injury. Thrombus City here we come!)
