My main resolution this year is to read more, a lot more. This will mean fewer meaningless blog posts and much less facebooking (thank christ). I bought a Kindle Fire and among the books I have on it is the title shown above. It's a brick of a book so lends itself well to a digital format. I am well into it and find myself reading late into the night and early in the morning. My mind is trained on the story and the time passes without being distracted by my own random thoughts. It feels great I have to say. It's like learning to breath underwater for extended periods and then before you know it you have developed gills and you stop coming to the surface at all. This is what I want, total immersion.
FYI, my goal for this blog is to write less frequent longer posts. I have to develop my ability to write in a more sustained way and develop an idea fully rather than just flit around here and there. Stay tuned.

I love your writing. I also love Haruki Murakami!
I should adopt your goal... I love reading and never find the time. Perhaps it is because of a severe blogger habit! It always seems that I have to read just one more blog... or one more.... oh, but wait, here's one I've never seen before and it sounds interesting....
Well, I guess I'm still reading... not exactly what I had in mind though!
I hope you do a post about the Kindle Fire. I have last year's Kindle version and would love to hear what folks think of the new, improved model!
I find I actually read more since getting a Kindle last year, and rarely go anywhere without it. Thanks for posting the book reference.
