Reader

One of the gifts that I received for Christmas is a nice sized gift certificate for Amazon. At first I had to think about what I would get, becuase while I like to read, I wouldn’t describe myself as an avid reader. I don’t read on a regular basis, I don’t have a list of books that I plan to read, and when I am reading a book, I usually don’t sit and read for long periods of time. And yet, I just counted the books that I read last year, and I completed over 15 of them (in addition to school books). That’s more than a book per month. I guess that makes me a reader after all.

So I spent some time on Amazon, and I found literally dozens of books that I’d like to read. It turns out that this is a gift that I wouldn’t have asked for, but that I really appreciate. That’s the best kind of gift, isn’t it? I can’t wait for my Amazon goodies to arrive.
