A book a day for 2009

As we get close to a new year, a quick suggestion for those who spend their work days dreaming of books - how about a "Book Lovers Page-A-Day Calendar"? I received one last year as a Christmas gift and have enjoyed it all year. Each day lists a book with a quick description and reason why it might be enjoyed - sure, out of 365 days, you will find days where you aren't interested in the book presented, but on other days you will discover books you didn't know you needed before, feel strangely proud on the days where there is a book you've read, and occasionally be perplexed on days where there is a book listed that no book lover would love. OK, it may not be enough to get you looking forward to work on Sunday night, but come Monday morning you do get to get a quick snippet of three books (unless you cheated and looked ahead on Friday) or more - even a book lover can be distracted as a busy week takes its toll, as does happen to me, but then I get the pleasure of tearing off a wholeweek's worth of pages to peruse during a slower time. Sure hope Santa brings me another one this year...
