After posting about cultivating a habit of reading a few days ago I figured I should do something about it for myself.
I found a few chunks of time to get stuck into a good book over the weekend. I even enjoyed some time yesterday afternoon propped up in bed with a coffee in one hand and a book in the other. It was cold and miserable outside so I thought I’d spoil myself.
Do you ever find yourself reading a book and wishing that everyone you know was reading it with you? You read something that strikes such a chord within you that you feel the whole world would benefit from reading what you’ve just read, or you find a passage in a book that you know would be of interest to a particular group of friends.
I’m currently reading through Mike Frost’s book, Exiles. You may remember that I interviewed Mike about the book some time back on 98.5 Sonshine FM. You can listen to the interview by clicking the play button on the audio player at the bottom of this post.
There’s so much in the book that resonates with me and I’ve found myself reading a couple of bits out loud for Pauline over the past couple of days as well as talking about other sections of the book with a number of other people. I heartily recommend the book.
What about you? Do read books that you’d love to place on everyone else’s reading list? What are you reading at the moment? Do you have a favourite spot in your home or somewhere else that is more conducive to reading? I’d love to hear from you in the comments section of this post.
Do you think some of your friends would enjoy reading Turning the pages? Please use the buttons below to share the post. Thanks.
My family recently made some adjustments in order to fit more reading into our daily life. Since the adjustment, I have read through two and a half books with my kids. My wife has read through a couple of new books, and I am working my way through a couple myself.
It is good to hear that I am not the only one trying to build some good reading habits.
