RE: NOTES FROM AN AMATEUR WRITER #51 - Some Of The Books That I Am Reading
Wow, that is a lot of books you're reading right now! I have a few that I'm reading as well thanks to reading to my kids for their school... ;) On my own, I'm reading one! :)
It is a lot, I agree. Since taking my writing education more seriously I have launched myself into the challenge of reading as much as possible. Writing about it here helps solidify the knowledge, as well as share the challenge experience. If it was purely for reading pleasure I may tone that number down somewhat, although I do tend to be a fickle reader, and flip between several books at once.
Nice - you're putting to use what my kids do for school. It is called narration in our curriculum. They read something and then tell me about it in their own words. It helps put it firmly in their minds. :)
Yes, I suppose it really is a learning tool. I hadn't looked at it quite like that, but I like it. We should never stop learning new things.
