Back to reading

When I think of reflection on happy things in my life I have to say that I think of reading. The reason saying is that we do not have time to read any more. We read on the metro to and from work, or on the eliptical, we sometimes if we are not too tired read before we go to bed (5 min maximum). I find it sad to find myself in all of the above category. I used to be a book worm. Most of my knowledge and information comes from books. And in time when I was in college and hoping to finish up to have time to read for pleasure here I am 'too busy'.
The reason of this long awaited post is to remind ourselves that we spend too much time in front of the tv, computer or video games. We find pleasures in everything else but in the simple things. I pledge to go back to the roots and to read more. I truly missed it. I am reading two books right now and I plan to finish them soon. They are very different and non related which keeps my mind interested and challenged to remember what I have read. I am reading the Malcom X Autobiography as well as the novel Water for Elephants. I have intended to read both of these books for years. And now I am doing what I am preaching! FINALLY!

Here are the links to the books. Check them out! Tell me if you like them!
