Thank you for giving me more to add to my pile of book shame. I have an upcoming post about that. This year, I've read so many books, and I plan to keep this up for as long as the universe allows me to draw breath.
I don't have a reading ritual as such, but I read a lot. I started reading Ubik by Philip K Dick last night, and having read only Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by the same author... I am going to need to make more shelf space, immediately - because his books threaten me with hours of uninterrupted reading, and the danger of a book becoming a short story - because... they are not thrillers, but they are somehow page turners.
Pile of book shame! Lol. I can't wait to have this house put together so I can get all mine on bookshelves. I've read more this year than ever before too. I feel so much better when I'm learning.
It's amazing when you find an author's work you click with like that. It adds a whole new dimension of enjoyment to reading. I plan on trying to find a nice set of copies of the Foundation series once I get my reading room put together.
