Ever since I started keeping track of the books I read, I\’ve counted every month to see how many I read. I have averaged between 10 and 11 since I started in April 2006. But each month I feel pushed to read more, simply because of my books page.
So this month I got to a great start. I was at 12 books by the 10th. That\’s more than my monthly average, before a third of the month was over. I felt giddy with accomplishment. I thought to myself, \”That was easy! I bet I could read a book a day this month.\”
So I did.
