Just starting Bill Bryson's, Made in Americe. Read his book, about his experiences in Australia, his description of test match cricket had me in tears of laughter.

Currently reading a combination of the Updated Field Guide for VTA (soon to be passed to Sean) and the Body Language of Trees(still ongoing). Trouble is I am getting distracted all the time by this bloody arbtalk and I don't have a lot of time as it is.

How do you guys find time to read? Do yo set aside reading time every day, is it a discipline?

in order for one to need discipline it would need to be a chore surely?

When the updated field guide arrived I read through it quickly and enjoyed every page. The trouble is I want to be able to understand and remember all of this stuff. I suppose they are both reference books really and when I refer back to them for real life scenarios a few times I guess it will eventually sink in.

Perhaps I am making it a chore for myself by my approach.

I have never been a big reader and I find that is a bit of a barrier sometimes, it doesn't come naturally to me to pick up a book but the the quest for learning is making me want to do it more and more, balancing a busy life probably means I am going to have to be more structured in the way I do it. Everyone is different I guess.

put the kids to bed, drink a glass of wine and kick back with an early night, I find reading in bed a great way to retain the info and also find the relaxation helps too, thats the wine!

Last book I read was about 3yr ago before I got a computer and joined AT, don't set aside much time for reading anything other than threads n posts these days.

 

Anyhow the book was 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' by Dee Brown.

 

Must get back into reading again as I get totally engrossed by a good book.
