Decision Made

So the last post definitely hints at what this blog is going to be about...

I have decided to write about books I'm reading, have read or want to read.

Books are a huge passion in my life, so I figured this would be a topic that would perfectly suit me.

Ever since I learned how to read, I have not been able to put books down. I recently went to Aruba and blasted through about 5 books in the seven days I was there. Considering how much I slept and did other non-reading type activities, I'm pretty impressed I managed to finish all the books I brought. If I were to guess, I think I probably read close to 2,000 pages.

Although sometimes reading fast can be a great advantage (finishing boring textbook readings as quick as possible), it is also a big disadvantage. I feel like I don't have time to fully digest the books, especially when I finish them within an afternoon. Plus, it also ends up becoming an expensive hobby. The faster I finish a book, the sooner I have to buy another one, and since my reading habit is insatiable...this starts to add up.

Thankfully, being at school means I have less time to read, meaning I get to save more money :).
