I know that’s a bit of a trick question considering it’s only the 4th, but it’s recently come to my attention that I’m a bit concerned by the number of books I read last year.

I’d guess that my reading has decreased exponentially while my writing has increased. But like Stephen King says, “If you don’t read, you can’t write.” Or something to that effect. I’m sure he said it much better than I did because he reads more than I do.

Anyway, Over on my sidebar there, towards the bottom I’m starting a list of books I read this year. I’m already cheating slightly because I read half of The Night Before Christmas last year and just finished it this year. Hope that’s not a sign of things to come.

Oh, and I’m breaking it down into “Books” (which is easier to say that mass-market paperbacks, trade paperbacks, hardbacks, etc), “eBooks” and “ReRead.” My guess is that a lot of the books I read each year I’ve actually read before.

My husband and I have even discussed reading one anothers books (we have total opposite taste) and then trying to discuss them. Then I won’t look like all I read is romance.

So, does anyone else want to join me in making 2006 the year of reading? We can all support each other!! If you don’t want to keep track of the books you read for the world to see you can just do it on paper.

Come on, Read A Lot in 2006!
