The 365 Day Journey

I was reading a short article on a book titled, "Tolstoy and the Purple Chair", and the title grabbed my attention.

First, I had recently downloaded Tolstoy's "War and Peace" and wanted to get the writers review on what she thought of the timeless classic.

Second, I discovered that the author had turned to books as a form of therapy after losing her eldest sister. This therapy turned into a 365 day journey.

Third, it was this 365 journey that fascinated me enough to get the book. (Which I will be blogging about in future entries.) The author went on a 365 day book reading therapy. One book a day over 365 straight long days!! That's amazing!! (I'm not sure how many have ever ready "War and Peace"??? Can you read that in one sitting?? Can you read that in one day? Just a thought.

I felt compelled to join this 365 day challenge and start reading and blogging my way through the book world!!!

I have always loved books. They fascinate me. Some of my readings are simple and yet some of my readings can be quite complicated. Weird? Yes. Sometimes I dabble in the weird and strange. I love to dive into mystery and suspense. Romance? Not so much. Although I have been suckered into a few romance flicks without really knowing. Sometimes I find myself going back and reading the "Classics". Books that I have read when I was younger, but some that have always been listed as classics but my eyes have never been lucky enough to glance upon.

So.......

My journey starts today. Here is to a year of good reading.......

(On another note....Here is what I hope to accomplish from this mini adventure into reading. I hope to find some great books. I hope to learn and to lose myself in the art of good reading and writing. And I hope that if failure strikes early in NOT being able to accomplish the task of reading ONE BOOK A DAY. That I don't give up and that I continue pressing forward in the journey ahead.).

Here's to reading.
