I was never much into writing down goals (they're in my head), but since so many studies said writing them down help achieved them at a much higher rate, might as well try it! <br /><br />@elizabethwillse - thanks for visiting! Husband has agreed to the idea, I just need to pick something he'd enjoy also. <br /><br />@Marce - My first language is Cantonese (Chinese). Husband prefers non-fiction, but I think we should try at least one fiction. He likes watching movies, so I told him fiction books are just like movies! I was debating whether to get the elliptical or treadmill, but husband said elliptical is better on the knees, though I could read while walking on the treadmill :) (I don't run...) I just need to use it! Out of the norm books... non-American writers, books write in verse (I don't get poetry, but at at least with verse there will a bit more of a plot), short stories, fantasy/urban fantasy, sci-fi... ummm what else are there... oh I guess classics too, since I hardly ever read them, but I do know we're reading one for the book club.christa @ mental foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272799752169958460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454479067313539656.post-41398434338066827332011-01-07T14:57:33.314-06:002011-01-07T14:57:33.314-06:00I would have never known English wasn't your 1...I would have never known English wasn't your 1st language, what language is?<br /><br />At least your husband reads/listens to books, I think that is a great resolution.<br /><br />Ellptical is my favourite cardio machine, wish I had one, it is not great for reading though.<br /><br />What books are out of your norm, I will be happy to recommend one to you since I get lots of my memoirs to try from you.Marcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136238772526246675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454479067313539656.post-90152481443093764772011-01-07T07:07:16.958-06:002011-01-07T07:07:16.958-06:00I'm here via Booking Through Thursday and I lo...I'm here via Booking Through Thursday and I love your resolutions, especially the idea of reading aloud to your audio-book favoring husband!
