Has anyone thought about doing National Novel Writing Month?

I haven’t. I’ve been working on essays and book critiques and such. My experience writing narrative has been a bit stunted by all these linear intellectual arguments, but next year I’d love to do it.

I also read the millonaire next door. And another good book I would recomend is the Wealthy Barber

I’m already 120 pages into writing my first novel – it’s a buddy / road-trip with a massive twist. Hoping to get it taken on by an agent in the next couple of months. Fingers crossed!

I’ve got friends who never even once (willingly) picked up a book in their lives, and I really feel sorry for them — they don’t know what they’re missing out on. Reading keeps me sane.

For the space and finance challenged—KINDLE! (Sorry for the Oprah moment).
For the financially challenged (or just plain frugal)–THE LIBRARY!

Right on Brent! Great idea for this post.

I usually read 2-3 books at once (not counting whatever books I am reading for my research). Right now, I just finished “The Millionaire Next Door,” and I am part-way though Edmund Burke’s “Reflections on the Revolution in France,” while I am listening to C.S. Forrester’s “Horatio Hornblower” series in my truck to-and-from work and school.

I find that a policy of reading at least 1 chapter in a book (any book will do) at night before sleep has gotten me through at least 1 book per week for 40 years.

The 2 largest benefits of regular reading are 1) improving your vocabulary; and 2) improving your overall awareness of current and historical events.

If you don’t read, you don’t KNOW.
