Happy Memorial Day

While I am totally fine with the fact that this blog is mostly boring and useless, I thought I would try to find away to make it exciting and useful again. An update with a much different purpose than before. While I will still use it to make health updates (which won't come again for another three months) I thought I would use it to make good on the one New Year's Resolution I made.

When I was a kid, I loved to read. I devoured every book I could get my hands on, reading two or three at a time, reading books over and over, etc. I was a fast reader and loved (though sometimes terrible) literature. I find this to be one of the saddest things that has changed about me. Maybe it was becoming and academic and finding reading to be work rather than pleasure (i am much more or a teacher than a researcher, though that is starting to change).

So, what was my one resolution? To read a book a week. 52 books by the end of the year. While most of my friends have already completed this task, I thought i should probably get in gear. I have been keeping track on facebook, but thought this would be a better outlet in case the facebook application ever gets cancelled. So, I will start today reposting what I have accomplished this far. If somebody does decide to read this, they can take my advice or advise about other books i should read.
