The Joy of reading

I am currently reading a Bill Bryson book, the lost continent .  This is one of those "laugh out loud" books.  Especially when he is writing about the Midwest where I grew up.  He may be writing about Iowa but it is very much like Minnesota.  The last book in this category (laugh out loud) was The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.  I saw the movie too, but the book was so much better.  I find this to be true many times as parts need to be cut to make it fit the time of the movie.

I just looked at my Google docs and found a file for books that have been recommend to me or that I learned about and thought I would like to read. It looks like there are about 40 on the list.  Recently a friend, who works at a library, told be about her list of books to read.  It was around 800.  I doubt if either of us will get through our list. 

Today G is going to a motorcycle show so that should give me time to read!  Note that I am passing on that opportunity (the show).
