It's only September and I've already read more books than I did last year. That's pretty awesome. Obviously I don't have the kind of time I did a few years ago when I could read 60 or 70 books per year, but getting back over twenty makes me feel good. Having a lit class that requires almost 200 pages of reading per week doesn't hurt either.
