But now I'm thinking that the super-power of that super-hero named Book Worm would be pretty cool, too. You know Book Worm, from that one show. Or was it a comic strip? Or am I completely making this up? Anyway, I've given up on my desire to fly. Now I want to be able to read at super-human, yes super-hero speeds. Because my library isn't getting any smaller and my desk is getting cluttered with unfinished books.
It seems most readers that I talk with have the same problem. We just can't finish a book before we start another. Then another. And another. And soon we have four books going. I remember having to do this in college because we had 4-6 classes per semester. But now I should be able to pick up one or two books and have them finished before I start another, right?
Needless to say I'm not reading fast enough and my attention-deficit disorder is getting the best of me. So here's what I'm reading right now:
- ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription
- ACSM's Resource Manual
- How People Grow (Cloud/Townsend)
- Boundaries for Kids (Cloud/Townsend)
- Principle of the Path (Andy Stanley)
So what are you reading?

Hans, you should try reading fiction - you would soon find that you have NO PROBLEMO finishing a book : )
I am reading Garrison Keillor's book 'Leaving Home' and am finding it to be quite delightful. It is a collection of his very witty, very funny, very imaginative Lake Wobegon Stories.
I am impressed by you only having 5 in rotation. I am such a voracious reader that I actually have a notepad with stop points for all my books. Non-fiction and biographies mainly. Keep up the blog Hans, I enjoy it.
Katie - yeah, about those novels. Not there yet. Or should I say right now. I love certain novels (Into Thin Air, Into the Wild).
Chris - thanks for writing. So what are you reading? What types of books to you gravitate towards? If you have a good biography I'd be very interested.
