Have you heard of Nina Sankovich?

Visit her 'blog to see her project. She is reading and reviewing a book a day for an entire year! She started on her birthday, October 28th, 2008. By rights, I should have waited till next week to 'blog this, but I thought it was fascinating!

She's read The African Queen by C. S. Forester, The Last Essays of Elia, by Charles Lamb, Eurdora Welty's A Curtain of Green, The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery, and Jame's Lee Burke's Crusader's Cross. But why am I telling you this? Go to her website to see what else she's reading and to read her comments. Her site offers her rationale, her lists of authors, her genre lists, and, of course, her reviews! She has four boys at home, along with her husband, and still is able to get the books read and the reviews written. On October 28th (a week from this Wednesday), she'll be finished with her project.

Read what the New York Times said about Ms. Sankovich. She believes that ANYONE can read a book a week. Why not start now?
