#3 of 12 days of New Year’s Resolutions: read. More specifically, read more intellectually stimulating books than teen vampire novels. (Note: not that I didn’t devour the Twilight series and thoroughly enjoy it, even though if I had to choose between Edward and Lestat, it would be the latter.) Top of my list right now is to read one chapter a day in Thomas Friedman’s Hot, Flat, and Crowded – why we need a green revolution and how it can renew America. It’s economics, environmentalism, and current events presented with wit and insight.

Also on my reading list are the following:

• The World Has Curves – the global Quest for the perfect body,
  by Julia Savacool
• People of the Book, by Geraldine Brooks

Yours? Please share your New Year’s reading list. And in order to stay accountable, I’ll get back to you on my progress and processing of these 3 books. Promise.
