So many books, so little time!

How do you decide what to read, when to read or what is worth your time?  I have always read anything from the back of cereal boxes to children's lit.  I LOVE to read. . .  The only genre, I typically give a pass is sci fi or fantasy but occasionally I will pick one up and read it.  

Lance reads lots of sci/fi / fantasy so it makes recommending that type of genre easy for me.  I encourage students to try at least 15 pages, to see what if it will keep their attention, if it is of interest or worth pursuing.  If it isn't. . .  STOP - who has time to read an uninteresting book?? 

Where to read?  Anywhere - never travel without a book - throw one in your purse, your car, your knitting bag.  You never know when you will be able to grab a minute to read.  Last year, I did family devotions in the car while waiting for the bus.  I always have a book with me while waiting at the bus stop to pick kids up.   I take one to appointments.  Who likes to wait?? Use the time to READ. . .
