I am increasingly guilty of the half-read book. I have been having a hard time really getting into books, though I think that part of it is not exercising the reading 'muscle'. This year the only novel I read and finished was "When Will There Be Good News", excellent by Kate Atkinson. Read about 2/3 of "The Piano Teacher" by Janice Y.K. Lee until I misplaced it and lost momentum. And I mostly read "Raising Happiness" by Christine Carter - good parenting book but I can't say I read it cover to cover. Then in Nov with the eye surgery I started doing audiobooks and that cut further into reading time... If there is a way to share your GoodReads I am always interested in recommendations!Parksidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10582625132013391749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17551042.post-41268624290828608642010-12-22T13:37:27.461-05:002010-12-22T13:37:27.461-05:00The Mark Twain sounds very interesting.

Actually, one reason I am interested in Grant is because it's supposed to be so well written and entertaining that for years people thought it was ghosted by Twain.Mr Crossonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01482737832596610004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17551042.post-66012626138973886592010-12-22T12:48:09.430-05:002010-12-22T12:48:09.430-05:00I love my New Yorker subscription but it does hamp...I love my New Yorker subscription but it does hamper one's ability to read books. <br /><br />What about the Mark Twain autobio? I'm kind of curious about that one (partly because of the timely Morgan Library exhibit I saw in October) but it's a huge one as well!P Chenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18371017916963619950noreply@blogger.com
