Let the Reading Begin. . .

This weekend is the start of a pretty serious time for me. . . a time of great reading. Sure, I've got three more sets of tests to grade. True, I have one more week of classes. Of course, I have a whole new season of television to enjoy (and I laughed out loud at Survivor yet again today). But. . . Donald Miller's new book was at Barnes and Noble today. And that means that two months of great reading has begun!

For the next eight weeks, I'll be reading new books by my favorite authors. How many new books? Count them: eight. If you had told the childhood me that I'd be excited about this, he would have laughed in your face. But check this out: over the next two months I'll be reading new books by Donald Miller, Michael Chabon, Jonathan Lethem, Dave Eggers, Douglas Coupland, Nick Hornby (two!), and Chuck Klosterman. On top of that, add the fact that I'll be getting to see two of them (plus a third not on the list potentially), and you've got one amazing next few weeks.

And so this weekend starts Donald Miller's A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. It will be interesting to see if he lives up to the promise of Searching for God Knows What. Guess it's time to find out. . .
