you heard it here first

24 books this year, an even 2 per month. not a bad total, but only 2 non-fiction, disappearing spoon and the lifeguard manual. i'd like to read more non-fiction, and i'm fairly certain that's something i can make happen. if only i can find non-fiction books....

okay, srsly. non-fiction. disappearing spoon was actually quite good -- informative and intriguing, easy to read and educational, fun and facts. but it was over 300 pages which is a long time to stay focused. and i thought i could read two things at the same time, with DS being one of them, but i kept favoring the "other" until i simply had to quit the others and focus. that's twice i've said focus here, and there's no surer buzzkill than focus.

i read for fun, for leisure, and focus doesn't really go with leisure, but on the other hand... i don't want my brain turning to complete moosh. brains need exercise just like bodies need exercise, so here's the PLAN for next year -- the GOAL if you will -- at least 750 pages non-fiction.

you heard it here first -- 750 pages non-fiction in 2012.

LOCK IT IN!
