Reading in 2014
The challenge was thrown down (in Goodreads?) to say how many books one would read this year. I put down 200. Given that I usually read lots not very deep and sometimes fluffy novels, 200 books is no big deal. Then I took the Christian Science Monitor quiz "Are You as Well-read as a 12th Grader?" and I decided to challenge my brain a bit. So, not only am I going to read at least some of the books from their list but I am going to also write a "book report" here. The first book up: The Elements by Theodore Gray. Luckily is has lots of pictures.

"luckily it has lots of pictures" does not constitute a book report. :D
That said, however, I would probably not be much better at writing them. I do lots of reading too, but maybe a third of what I read are books I've read before. With good mysteries you can do that, because you forget who actually did it, and with somebody like Kipling it's just fun to see all those lovely words strung together again!
