Overly ambitious, perhaps?

I have decided that I *am* going to attempt to read 50 books in 2006. Now, those who know me best probably find this hilarious given that I seldom make it through five books in a given year, but I am determined to read more. I believe the way Jenna’s goal went was 50 books or 15,000 pages, and not all 50 books had to be the length of Atlas Shrugged. I may even begin posting reviews on my website – http://www.jodidodds.com – which is actually a website documented my running experiences, but I can create a sub-directory and go for it. I actually know exactly where to start with my reading too – Mom, Evan, and I saw the new cinematic version of C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! This is the only book of the Chronicles of Narnia series I have read, and it was when I was in fourth grade – so I think it’s time to read the series (See? Seven books, right there…). I also received Doris Kearns Goodwin’s new Abraham Lincoln biography, Team of Rivals, for Christmas, so that will be on there as well (significantly longer than any of the Narnia books). I will put together my reading list and post it soon.
