NaNoReMo

So, I have been pondering over the last few days.  I’ve been putting together my plot and characters for National Novel Writing Month – getting ready to write 50,000 words in 30 days.

Then I remembered how I posted on the topic of “all that writing, no one reading” that seems symptomatic of America’s (the world’s?) self-involvement.

Continuing with this thought, I imagined NaNoReMo – National Novel Reading Month – a time when you spend the month trying to read 50,000 words…or just an entire novel or whatever.

So, that’s what I’m going to do, I’m working to work very hard to focus on some serious reading this month – perhaps finish the books on my bed-stand.

I’m currently reading Food Politics, God’s Problem and The Self-Esteem Trap.  Excellent books all.  Let’s see what November 30th brings.

What are you reading?

PS:  If you google for NaNoReMo, you’ll discover (as I did) that I’m not the only one with this great idea.  It’s a good thing I decided NOT to write something after all.  =)
