I cannot wait to have some time on my hands again to indulge in some of these. A great reminder of what great reads I have already enjoyed and inspiring to think of what awaits.

I'm going to take the "Read 52 Books in 52 Weeks" challenge by Brian Lee, creator and writer of Lifehack. I love to read. Clive Cussler is currently my favorite author.
I'm with Brian, "damn you, required reading lists!" I did, however discover a delightful book called "Harriet the Spy" when I was around 9 or 10, and found that I had inherited my mother's love of reading with that book. I haven't stopped reading since.
My mother told me stories about hiding from her mother so she could read. Sometimes she would grab an apple and climb a tree. Other times she might walk down by the stream and lay on the bank, way out of earshot of the house. She shouldn't have told me those stories. I don't think I ever would have come up with hiding out from her on my own, or developed that selective hearing problem!
Back to those required reading lists. I couldn't understand Shakespeare to save my soul, and Chaucer was, ugh!. I regret that I haven't read any of the classics, and while it may prove difficult to accomplish, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, etc.
I've chosen books and authors that I've always been curious about, but never picked up, because of a current favorite author, or because my mother and I were exchanging current favorites. What a wonderful impact on my reading life my mother has been, truly! Thank you so much mom, you really are the best!

I can't believe that I only read 4 of the books on this wonderful list. I have lots of catching up to do.
To maintain health, one must be sure to nourish the mind as well as the body. If reading is a favorite past time of yours I encourage you to continue. :)
