I read it a couple of years ago and it is awesome. Good recommendation!

I have really embraced this goal since I set it, and it has been so good for me - I have read 6 books since I started, and this has meant a lot less time watching crap on TV and generally wasting my time. I can honestly say I am much happier since starting this.
I don't think I am going to reach my initial target of 10 books by the end of the year (I still have 4 more to read!), but have just started my 7th book, so will do what I can.

The books I have read so far are:
Emperor Series (3 books - Gates of Rome, Death of Kings and Field of Swords). These are all about the life of Julius Ceaser. I don't usually go in for historical fiction, but I absolutely loved these and would recommend them to anyone (I have already given them to my Grandad to read!)
The Bourne Deception- Eric van Lustbader - these are great - if you liked the films you will love these books.
Outliers - Malcolm Gladwell
The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho - I re-read this as it is one of my all time favourite books.

I have just bought the new Kindle, and it is definitely helping me with my goal to read more. I have it with me almost wherever I go.
It is really easy to download new books, and there are a great selection to choose from. It means that whenever I have finished one book I can immediately get access to a new one!
My main concern was that the kindle would be like reading off a computer screen (i.e. a lot of glare), however it really has low glare, and is actually much closer to reading from a book.
I definitely recommend this for those who want to read more!

I am doing pretty well at this goal so far - I have read 3 books already in 2010:

Rites of Passage by William Golding
The Life of Pi - Yann Martel

Basically, I wasn't sure which books were good for me to read - there are so many and so little time! Therefore I have decided to read as many of the previous booker prize winners as possible - I had read a couple in the past and really enjoyed them.

I have to say that Life of Pi is one of my favourite books to date - I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I used to read a lot of books when I was a kid - I loved stories so much that I constantly had a book in my hand and would read for hours at a time.
I seem to have stopped reading recently, and I really miss it. I guess I have been sidetracked by so many other things that I have almost forgotten to simple pleasure in life, but if I am honest I think I used to be so much happier in the days when I was engrossed in a good story!
I have therefore set my goal to read more books, and have set a plan which will ensure I read 10 books by the end of the year.

I have so many books that I want to read and have meant to read for a while. I actuall have a few books which I have purchased but never got round to reading.
My goal is to read more!
