A Week of Reading
Because the 10MillionWords project is not yet officially underway (it begins for real on January 1, 2010), I am not going to read all of the bestsellers that hit the list through the rest of 2009 (though I will undoubtedly read some of them). And that is a good thing as this week saw four new books hit the list, including two that are very sizable and that really do not interest me. I had already decided that I would dedicate this week and next to reading books about reading. I have put together a list of titles that deal with the skill of reading, the art of writing, the craft of reviewing. I’ve also found a book that discusses rapid reading, a skill I may need to rely on as I attempt to make my way through the long list of bestsellers next year.
So stay tuned this week and next as I read these books and offer some reflections on them.
