Reading list

I've been a reader all my life. I love reading. I love both finding out new things and traveling to different worlds.
Toward the end of my time out in Montana I wasn't reading as much as I used to. I brought the lack of habit back with me to Minnesota. But then a few years ago I started back up on a big reading kick. I mainly started to read over lunch at work.
I know some people say that you're not supposed to eat alone and you're supposed to connect and network over lunch. But I found I really enjoyed that 30-45 minutes of peace to myself in the middle of a hectic day. Reading was the perfect activity to accompany that time. And so I started reading a lot of books a half hour at a time. It soon made its way back home where I started reading before bed again.
I also started reading two or three different books at a time. One at work and one at home and then maybe some other one thrown in somewhere. The reason was simple: I didn't want to forget a book somewhere and not have something to read.
Since Junior High I mostly read fantasy. But a couple years ago Allison and I were at a book sale and I saw a bunch of classics that I had never read for $1 a piece. I bought a bunch of them and they got me on a classics kick.

So here is an incomplete list of what I've read over the last few years, not in chronological order. I think my favorite book is The Count of Monte Cristo. Just an amazing book
