79. Read a book a month

Well... I've lost count as to whether I'm actually reading a book a month. The important thing is that I have found the joy of reading again. In high school and university, I had to read ever so much. I was so glad when that was over that I only went with magazines and other short bits and pieces, but never sat down to read a whole book again. The obligation of doing something just totally takes away the fun of it.

But moving to a new home about 50 meters away from the library has changed that around. I became a member and now truly enjoy walking between rows and rows of colorful and potentially interesting stories. I've actually taken home a pile of books to sit/lay down on the couch and read with a pot of tea on the side, something I'd never done before in my life. And I find it strangely relaxing.
