Booking a day
I've got a guilty little secret.
I've too many books on my reading lists. And as much as I love to devour books, I'd get distracted from my current read and move on to another book.
It's a neglectful reading habit which I'm guilty of - abandoning my current read and never getting round to finishing any book. Sometimes, I find myself overwhelmed with the growing tower of unread and unfinished books by my bedside.
So, I've decided to assign a different kind of book for each day of the week. Some sort of book theme for each day of the week to feed my need for a different variety of reading.
Monday is travel day because I get the horrible monday blues and yearn to escape from it all.
Tuesday is essay day. I love it how good essays can make me feel grounded with their universal truths that hit home.
Wednesday is classical day because I can't get myself to finish Jane Austen's Emma and Gustave Flaubert's Crime and Punishment.
Thursday is modern fiction day. Anything goes - Nick Hornby, Sophie Kinsella, etc.
Friday is poetry day. I love how words practically leap off the page with visual images.
Saturday is magazine day. Time to read my Oprah, Glamour and Vogue magazines.
Sunday is whatever I fancy day.
Oh, and any book recommendation is most welcomed. :)
