I am quite sure that I am biting off w-a-y more than I can chew and read this season, but I also know that by making the list (and checking it twice) I will read far more than if I cry "Uncle!" and decide I am too busy for intentional reading. The winter season will include many car hours logged as I transport my three oldest children to speech tournaments to the south and the north of us. Perhaps I can find some in an audio version, providing myself with the brain food I need to be alert enough for the long hours as solo pilot for my speech students.
