books, reading

I've got so many books on my list to read.

Right now I've got to main books. First, there's the second book in the George R.R. Martin series, "A Song of Ice and Fire." It's one of the best fantasy series ever, I think, but the problem is that I've gotten some of my friends hooked on it. That may not seem like a problem, but it is when they want to talk about the series with me but have gotten ahead of me. So, rather than reading three or four books at once, I'm having to focus all of my energies on two books. "Why not one," you ask. Because of the second book project I've got going right now.

At the beginning of the year, our pastor challenged us to read through the bible before Easter. He's even put up a suggested reading list at the church website, and printed sheets to hand out at the church. It's turning out to be much more of a daunting task than I expected, especially when I have to play catch up.

So there are my two big reading projects, and yet there are others that crop up along the way and seem to distract from these. There are so many books out there that I want to read, it's just horrible. I'd like to learn to read faster and still retain my enjoyment.
