I finished a lot this month.
Mostly books I’d started in months past, which means that the currently reading list is back to a manageable size.
I also got some non-Kindle books off the stack, freeing me up for more time with the world’s greatest electronic invention since the NES, or maybe since the iPod. Take your [...]
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you may have surmised that, of all the books I’ve read this year, one of them seems to be taking quite some time.
That would be The Stories of John Cheever, a collection of John Cheever’s best short fiction from 1946 to 1978.
I started this book in [...]
I am reading too many things at once.
I do this from time to time. Normally, I’ll have 3-4 books in progress at once, which I can handle pretty well.
Anything beyond that usually means that I’ve stopped reading something.
Right now, I have eight books working at once. Yikes… focus, Brandon.
On another note, I’m going to try [...]
Yesterday, I mentioned that my regular pre-Kindle reading list posts were going to evolve into a monthly dump of what I’m reading on and off the Kindle.
Here’s the update for July. A wide variety of books…
One thing I’ve realized this year as I’ve been tracking my reading closely is that there is almost no rhyme [...]
So, after three months of patient waiting and reading through a pile of books I vowed to complete, I finally ordered myself a Kindle.
The bad news is that I didn’t exactly read all 16 books on my pre-Kindle reading list. I finished 12 and had 4 remaining when I decided to stop waiting [...]

I’m participating in a book tour this month with Dee Stewart and Kathleen Popa for Gayle Roper’s book, Fatal Deduction.
In addition to the standard book tour blog post, Dee is planning to post a “Weekend Chatterbox” entry on her blog about one of the dominant themes in the book.
What’s more, the three of us will [...]
If this series has lost all of its entertainment value, I wouldn’t expect that this post will restore it. Feel free to mark this one read and move on about your day. We’ll be back to our regularly-scheduled posting tomorrow morning.

I only finished one book in the last two weeks, though I’ve currently got five [...]
Several days ago, Sarah and I were talking about blogging and reading and the Kindle1 when the topic of this series of posts came up and she said,
“So, are you planning on doing that post every week?”
I said that I had planned on completing this post every week.
“For how long?”
“Until I have read everything on [...]
My reading time has been falling off the last couple of weeks, and I need to get things back in gear. Drat those NBA Playoffs and their late games! Even with Tivo, it’s a time-commitment. If it weren’t for my audiobook reading, I wouldn’t have much to say at all…
Books completed in week 5
“Duma Key: [...]
