I read while I walk. While I walk the dog, while I run errands, while I'm commuting by foot. If I'm walking, I'm usually reading. I went for my usual Sunday morning breakfast and the cashier asked "you're always reading, aren't you?" My response? "Yep. It's better than real life." I have a really unbelievably fantastic life so I think this response was more a nod to
Blind Melon than anything else (and all I can do is read a book to stay awake, it rips my life away but it's a great escape.)
Might be slightly ironic that my most recent read was
The Power of Now but that aside, I still maintain my life is enriched by what I read and not stolen from it.
Thanks to
goodreads now I can track what I read, rate it, and review it (although I haven't lately--way too many The Power of Now-type books than I'd care to admit) and--even more fun--track what other people read. Right now my goodreads friends are my voracious reader friends: seven in total.
You don't have to read while walking but any type of reader would probably love this nerd version of facebook. (Don't tell me where you've been, what you ate, who you saw, but what you read!)
(Oh! And visit the
Lost Edens goodreads page. Maybe add it to your to-read shelf, eh?)
