In 2014, I am hoping to read a book a week. I did not do that in 2013, although I read 48 books. But, in 2013, I was not working on reading a book a week.
I am doing okay, so far, and have actually already read 40 books. What has slowed me down are some of the non-fiction books, such as The Monuments Men, The Men Who United the States, and Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage. On the other hand, The Greatest Generation, a non-fiction book was a fast read for a thick book.
What has helped is reading two or three books a weekend, which I have done many times, including this weekend. I finished one book I had previously started, and completed two others, before returning to The Men Who United the States.
What has also helped is that I am reading some books at work, that are work related, and are slow reading, but I read here and there as I have an opportunity at work.
As one of my friends said, reading non-fiction is not always exactly reading page turners. This is true. Also, sometimes, the non-fiction books are much thicker than the novels I am reading.
Tune on December 31, 2014, find out what the final tally is.
