If you are on Twitter, I encourage you to participate in the #Fridayreads hashtag.

Basically, you use the hashtag (on a Friday, of course) and note what you are on reading on that Friday.

The act of doing so sharpens one’s focus on the act of reading and forces one to think about setting aside some time with a particular book over the weekend. I’ll be reading The Carrier of Ladders, of course, as well as finishing up another Canto. Those seem like good books to read during Washington’s impending hurricane, don’t they?
