reading just 10 pages of a book a day really does add up!! think about it... if you read 10 pages daily, in a year you will have read 3650 pages of nice material... you could fit 5 crime and punishments in there or many many short stories if you'd prefer... i've been lurking in a reading slump for a few years now, mainly due to the short-form content that's nearly finished frying my brain, but the simple daily goal of sparing a few minutes to get through the 10 pages has me sitting down and reading much more than that. i can feel the shackles loosening up......... the last few days i've been enjoying a few of banana yoshimoto's novels and oooohhhh yippyyy i love the way she manages to capture the fleeting essence of emotions so precisely. go read go read a book now!!!!!!!
