Beach Reading Lists: Leanne Diamond
Since I write our blog, I get to be the first to share my beach reading list for 2015. I am not overly excited about what I have to read this summer because my book collection is old. I am debating whether or not to trade the books in, although I won’t get much for them, or to just buy new ebooks since they are more affordable! I might even pick up one of the books from Bill Gates’ list. I will post what I ended up reading when summer ends.
Leanne’s 2015 Beach Reading List
- A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks – I chose this book when the movie, The Notebook came out. I thought I might like something by the same author.
- Sunday’s at Tiffany’s by James Patterson – A book recommended by my Mother, who has a completely different taste in books than I do.
- The Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck – A book given to me by my Grandmother. I am not even sure what it’s about.
I have to be honest, the thought of summer reading is dreadful to me. That is simply because I have too many books in my collection that I have yet to read. I won’t allow myself to purchase any more until I read those. Which, seems like a great plan, except for the fact that I have really outgrown most of them. My interests have changed and I don’t think I would enjoy them as much as I would have if I had only read them when I got them.
My idea of summer reading is a lot like some users ideas about technology. You keep what you have because, if it’s not broken, why fix it? But in reality, you have completely outgrown your systems. With my beach reading list, it won’t hurt me to read some older books that I am not that crazy about. However, when it comes to your data, there could be consequences of continuing to hold onto that legacy system.
