New Year

It's now officially 2007 and my new idea to keep the gears in my mind turning is to start reading again. When I was young, I was the kid you could find at recess reading Little House on the Prarie, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Charlotte's Web. I used to read a book a day when I was younger and then I got to college and that killed my love of reading for a good 15 years (I was a history major and discovered that I could still pass the class with A's and B's without actually reading the assignments.). Only recently have I begun to enjoy reading again and finding wonderful books that we were never asked to read in school, ones that I probably wouldn't have appreciated without having a little of life's experiences under my belt. So here I go...willingly losing myself in the bookstacks of the local library and Barnes and Noble.
