Reading Recovery

By Anita Mathias

A Reading Recovery Plan


Richard Foster said, If you are too busy to read, you are too busy. I don’t read as much as I used to–a book a day. Inspired by a Facebook friend who is reading 50 pages a day, I’ve started a reading recovery project. Start where I am, and add a page a day, until I too am reading at least 50 pages a day. It will be life and mind changing. Started on A.S. Byatt’s “Angels and Insects.” Lovely, rich writing!
