What I'm Reading

Life has been very busy lately for both of us. Mihir's job keeps him constantly engaged, so much so that he is rarely without his laptop computer, even at home. And since starting my own law practice I find myself without a moment to spare. Most days I'm so fried from hours of drafting documents or conducting legal research I can't stand the thought of reading anything more. And I regret that. Mihir loves to read Agatha Christie mysteries (they remind him of childhood, I think) and he's always able to do that. I, on the other hand, have gotten lax about my reading. Anyone who was present for my childhood knows what a voracious reader I was. Now I'm taking a vow to be that again. I've joined a reading challenge (again) in order to commit myself to reading at least six books during 2008. Here's the list:

1. A book with a profession in the title: The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman;
2. A book with a time of day in the title: Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie;
3. A book with a relative in the title: Difficult Daughters by Manju Kapur;
4. A book with a body part in the tile: The Frontal Lobe by Katrina Firlik;
5. A book with a building in the title: A House for Mr. Biswas by V.S. Naipaul;
6. A book with a medical condition in the title: Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
