I love reading but since reality television has taken over nearly every channel, I‘ve traded in the book for the remote control. Although entertaining as hell, watching reality television everyday can’t be good for my intellect.
I need a change. So I decided it was time to delete all of the reality television shows from my DVR in an effort to reconnect with my love of literature.
My goal will be to read five books a month for a total of 60 books in 2011. It will be a challenge. The Housewives of New Jersey, Atlanta, Washington DC and Beverly Hill shave been my girlfriends for years. I know that I will have withdrawal, but my couch potato status needs to change for a lot of reasons.

(2) Dessa Rose – Sherley A. Williams
