It's Wednesday again, and I'm thinking about books, as usual. I put in an order from a bookstore this Monday, but they have yet to pack it for me... slow progress there. But they did send my book subscription, being the fourth volume of Uraboku. Yay! Only problem is I have to fetch it at a store that is in the complete wrong direction from me.... damnation.
On Saturday, 8th September, it's the international day of literacy. So go to the library and pick up a book, I urge you. I'm reading En ö i havet at the moment, but if I finish before Saturday, I might go and borrow something new, that i have never read before. The time for books is right, autumn coming on, it gets dark earlier in the evening, all I miss is a fireplace. I'll settle for scented candles for now, until I get rich and can buy a house with a fireplace.
It is important to know how to read. Reading opens up a whole world. This world, and all the other worlds people have written about. If you can read for yourself, you can take your own stand on things. I believed in God. Until I read the Bible. A friend of mine didn't believe in God. Until she read the bible. To each their own.
I have been thinking about putting a widget on this blog to let others know what I'm reading, but I don't get how to do it. I'm often quite tech-savvy, but i think I've lost the piece of brain that knows how to do that. Programming game addons, no problem, managing the blog, not so much... Well.... anywho.
I have challenged myself to read 52 books this year. That's one a week. That should be no problem at all, but so far i have only read 14. To be fair, not everything ends up counting down that challenge. When I get new books i usually read them right away, but I don't write them down on my online bookshelves. Which means I probably read about 50 books already.
Anywho, don't forget to read a book on Saturday, even if you're not a reader. Go to your library, ask the librarian if they can recommend a book that's not to hard to read. That's what they're there for. I promise, they don't bite. And remember: Audio books COUNT!
