I have always loved to read, maybe it has something to do with my mother being a librarian. Over the past few years I have not read enough, regretfully. Too much time on the laptop, I fear, is the cause. I want to improve on this in 2011. I am thoroughly enjoying 'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett currently. It is a US bestseller, set in the 60's and written mainly in the vernacular of Mammy in Gone With the Wind. My children are big readers too and I know S is loving 'Brisinger' by Christopher Paolini as I have seen it lying round the house a lot keeping her company on the couch. I am enjoying mine so much I even took it to work today to read at lunchtime which is a far cry from the Who Weekly type of thing found in our tea room that I often peruse mindlessly.
Kate - we love the Christopher Paolini series - I see you have the 3rd book - have you read the 2 before Brisngr? If not, I would be happy to send you out our previous copies!!

I would love to have relatives who owned libraries (well, each one has so many books that we are close to that!)

I have always been a big reader - it's the only thing that gets me on the exercise bike every day - the 45 minutes of reading LOL
One of my proudest accomplishments was turning mon mari into a reader...

"The Help" sounds really interesting so I've downloaded a sample chapter to my Kindle. Thanks for the recommendation.
