Books I'm Reading

My English reading has slowed some since trying to focus on Chinese but I still like a good book. Here are a few books that are pretty good reads:

The 2005 Best American Travel Writing
(Trying to understand what great travel writing really is.)

The Professor and the Madman - Simon Winchester
(a little disturbing)

The Meaning of Everything - Simon Winchester
(soon to start)

River Town - Peter Hessler
(Great read about an American who lived in China for two years)

Influence Without Authority - Cohen Bradford
(for work)

I know I'm not averaging two books a month. I'm having a hard time keeping up! There are 150,000 new books printed in the U.S. each year. That's an average of 410 a day. At an average of 350 pages each, that's just 143,835 pages a day and just 6,000 pages an hour. Hmmm...it's not going to happen.
