I have been inspired and challenged by Phil Togwell and Jude Smith's aim to read a book a week each year. I absolutely love reading fiction and I'm growingly getting better at reading/listening to Christian literature. Their challenge speaks to me... I yearn to read a book a week. I won't make it. I don't have enough time, the books on my too read pile are big fatties and I'm already one and half books behind... I could slip in a few shorties maybe next weekend to try and catch up, but if I'm too religious about it I may not savour what I'm reading. My current book for example is an enjoyable beast. It doesn't fit comfortably in my bag but I'm loving it and I'm glad the story won't end any time soon. Reading lost a bit of it's luster last year so I was overjoyed when I found new drive for it in December. There's something about sitting and having to focus on just one thing that really relaxes me. I'm such a multi-tasker, I'm often doing at least two things at once and I'm totally guilty of having constant sources of stimulation and back ground noise around me. Maybe if I took on this challenge it would force me to be quite for a little time every day... bliss... xc
