A colleague recently asked me what I'm reading these days and I was horrorfied at how long the list was. I don't usually take breaks for lunch in my day unless the meal occurs over a meeting. Actually, that too, is a bit horrifying. Hmm. So what I think I should do is take "reading lunches". This would ensure that I actually slow down enough to eat a proper lunch and also finish the many books on my nightstand that are eagerly awaiting their turn. Here's what I'm into now--don't ask about the books I have yet to crack open...
Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't by Jim Collins (recommeded by the aformentioned colleague and the Bishop)
In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed by Carl Honore
The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America by Jonothan Kozol
The Runner's Diet: The Ultimate Eating Plan that will make Every Runner (and Walker) Leaner, Faster, and Fitter by Madelyn Fernstrom, PhD, CNS
Simply in Season: A World Community Cookbook edited by Mary Beth Lind and Cathleen Hockman-Wert (one of a few cookbooks that I'm reading before they go down to the kitchen bookshelf)
