I read a lot, once. My record was 21 books in a single month in 2005. Now that I've found a partner and am getting a masters' degree--in addition to having a houseful of children--I just try to read well, in whatever reading time I can find. I read whatever my Anglophiles Anonymous Shelfari group is reading, and I still hope to make a big dent in "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die." I try to read one classic per month.
