No Time to Read? Be a Juvenile

I like to read.   Reading is awesome.  Reading is something I thought I'd get to do at least 85.7% times more than I ever was able to do.  It doesn't seem to be turning out that way.  I am just as busy living in a camper as I was living in a large house, working full time.  How is that so?

Besides still not having enough time to read, I tend to read several books at once.  Right now, and for the past two years, I have been reading...

With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa  by Eugene Sledge

Helmet for My Pillow  by Robert Leckie

The Science of Jurassic Park and the Lost World: Or, How to Build a Dinosaur  by Rob DeSalle

Why Sh*t Happens: The Science of a Really Bad Day  by Peter Bentley

I DID manage to finish "The Trilogy"...Ladies, you know.

My newest addition is 

Invincible Microbe: Tuberculosis and the Never-Ending Search for a Cure.
     By Jim Murphy and Alison Blank
 

 Why, you ask?  I am a sucker for a great hardcover book, non-ficiton of course, with a brand new, clean, clear, library plastic cover.  I found it in the Juvenile Nonfiction Section.  I was looking for books on Greek Mythology for Ian (he's into the Riordan Series of Percy Jackson...thank you Cheryl) and came across this book.  I thought, hey, I could finish this. It's probably not SO technical that I need to read some paragraphs twice, or three times, but informative enough that I learn something and enjoy reading it.  



So, that's my new plan..  I will now shop in the Juvenile Non-fiction section of the library.  Once I finish these five books, of course.

  1. I'll stick to mysteries, love stories and general no brainers. But then again, I'm old. lol

    I know what you mean about time. When I was working full time, I got much more done. Not as organized as I used to be. Lovin it.
