FINISH READING

When I was a kid, I used to read nonstop and I would read up to 5 books at a time. Then, in Middle School, I stopped reading altogether. Since, I haven't been able to re-discover the desire. In fact, lately I have developed a bad habit of picking up a book and not finishing it. Once I put a book down, I rarely pick it back up. One book I was even <20 pages from finishing! Here is a summary of the books I have started reading in the past 5 years:

Lord of the Rings - began in 2002, on page 715 (last read 2005)
A Man without a Country - on page 19 (last read 2006)
The Case for a Creator - on page 63 (last read 2007)
A River Runs Through It - on page 44 (last read 2007)
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands - FINISHED (Sept 2008)
Getting to 'I Do' - on page 105 (last read Sept 2008)
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus - on page 54 (last read 2008)
Sophie's World - began in 1997, FINISHED 2008
Broken Open - on page 240 (last read Jan '09)
The Time Traveler's Wife - on page 337 (last read June '09)
Profiles in Courage - FINISHED (July 2009)
Faust - FINISHED (August 2009)
Boundaries - on page 117 (last read Dec '09)
True Compass - on page 374 (last read 12/29/09)
Eat, Pray, Love - on page 1 (started TODAY)

My New Year's Resolution is to finish some of them.
