Reading more is one of my action items for the year. Listening to books counts too, I have found audio books to be a great distraction from the horrid boredom on the treadmill. Really my ultimate goal is to reduce my screen time (laptop, BlackBerry, TV).
Usually I have a long list of books I want to read but when I finished up my stockpile I was struggling to put a new list together. Luckily a few friends formed a monthly book club so I had the January book selection to get me started. In the end I did manage to get a few books knocked out.

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura HillenbrandThis is a book I would have never picked up to read, it was our January book club book. It is such a great book, a truly unbelievable story of surviving. |

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf by Edward Albee I have never seen this movie and know nothing about the story. I mentioned to my parents we were going to see the play , dad just so happened to have a copy and lent it to me. I am glad I did, I think it will make seeing the play a better experience. |
| Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue My first library audio book check out! This was a great selection for it since the majority of the story is told from the perspective of a five year-old boy who has lived his entire life in one tiny room. An intense but enjoyable listen. |

Yes – I love audio and listen to it while I am getting ready in the morning, in the kitchen when I cook and in my car when I drive.
ROOM is so good, I read it but heard it was incredible on audio too.
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe is lovely. Room is still is on my shelf, I need to get to it. Have a wonderful week reading. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2011/01/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-24.html
Unbroken is on my tbr list
I have read two books written by Virginia Woolf, and thought they where really good. Very interesting to read about her life aswell on the web. 😉 I never heard of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf! I hope it's good.
Have a wonderful Monday!
Henrietta Lacks and The Happiness Project are both very good.
I need to get Unbroken. I liked The Happiness Project — hope you do, too!
