There is a list of 1001 Books to Read - My husband and I are going to try to read all 1001 before our 15th anniversary. If anyone else wants to try, here is the link: http://www.listology.com/content_sho...id.22845/Books | ||

Holy cow! That's a lot of books. How long have you been married? How many years left until your 15th anniversary? LOL! I've read tons of books, but after a quick skimming, only about 10 listed. I love to read, but DH doesn't read for pleasure. He simply doesn't have time and isn't interested. He reads a lot, but it's mostly work related. When life isn't too hectic, I average about a book a week. Who made up this list and what is his/her criteria for putting a book on it? I recently read Atonement and didn't care for it. | ||

When my kids were little, I didn't have time to read. Now that they're in school and more independent, I squeeze in reading whenever I'm able. Quite often I read from one of my books next to my kids when they're doing their daily reading for school. | |||

Hopefully I can do that when they are older. I try and do some reading when I am in the parent pick up line but most of the time I just watch the clouds and take in the silence before they get in the car. lol | ||

We have only been married a little over a year, so we still have quite a bit of time. We both are very fast readers. Both he and I can read about 100 pages in an hour. So it only takes us a few days to even read long books. Sometimes if I get a Saturday all to myself (you know, once in a blue moon) I can read 2 or 3 books. He works from home and kind of makes his own hours, so he probably gets a couple of hours throughout the day to read. I read on my lunch hour, and for about an hour before I go to sleep. As for who makes the list, etc. I am not sure. I do know that it got a lot of criticism for not including more classics, the Bible and Shakespeare and stuff. | ||

LOL. I love reading. I read everything I can get my hands on! Except I don't really do romance novels, because they are usually stupid. But any other topic is fine by me!

it's amazing when you think about it... of ALL the books that exist in ALL the world in ALL those languages and ALL those topics... you'll probably only read 1000-5000 more before you die IF you're a big reader.
