Still More New Books

PERSONAL NOTE: I don't know why I didn't ask you guys to pray sooner. My son was accepted into an entry-level training program after his interview on Monday. Basically, he'll be paid for a month-long intense immersion into two computer programming systems, and at the end of that period be put to work for the company, somewhere in the tri-state area, provided the company has need for new programmers around Valentine's Day. It's not a guarantee of employment, but it is the next best thing. Don't let anyone tell you prayer doesn't work!

So yesterday I ran a post on spending too much time online.

Let's balance it out and talk about real life, hold-in-your-hand, turn them one-page-at-a-time books.

Reader's Digest has an article on ways to work more books into your life this year.

Maybe soon they can write an article that tells you how to find time to actually read them.
