I read more than I knit - but not by much!
Donna from Knit One, Purl Too here - Knit One, Read Too could have easily been the name of my weblog, so I think it will be great fun to be part of a group that combines two things I like so much.
My favorite author is John Irving - I *love* A Prayer for Owen Meany, and it's been just long enough that it might be time to read it again. I'm also a fan of mysteries, and have been working my way through the Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus mysteries by Faye Kellerman as well as the Number One Ladies' Detective Agency books. My favorite reading these days may be what I refer to as "narrative nonfiction" - gripping stories that are actually true. A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr is a great example of the genre, and on Slate's recommendation, I just finished reading the 9/11 Commission Report - very well written, and an excellent treatment of a complex subject. To balance that out, I'm reading the latest Anna Maxted, Being Committed.
Two things about me: I haven't yet finished a sweater (not for lack of trying) and I check most of my books out of the library, which gives me incentive to finish them quickly!
