She never really got good at sleeping, meaning that I spend my days just trying to get by and use the little energy I have on spending time with my little sweetheart and surviving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am dancing a victory dance around my apartment right now&#8230; well at least mentally. I made it, I have completed my 2010 New Year&#8217;s Resolution of reading books from 26 countries. Obviously three times is a charm (this is the third year I tried). Or maybe it is the pressure I gave myself by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that we like so much to watch and read about dysfunctional people? Seriously we love it! Just look at all those reality shows they have on TV. My theory is that it makes us feel better about ourselves. We see how messed up other people are and can mentally give ourselves a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is very sad to rave about a book that could have a disclaimer stating &#8220;Millions of people died in the making of this book&#8221;. It was however the best non-fiction book that I have ever read and it sheds light on the history of an oppressed population of a country that we do generally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The German entry for my challenge was a book called Measuring the World by Daniel Kehlmann. It was recommended to me by one of my readers.
While the book thrilled me at first with its strong, humorous character descriptions I trailed off somewhere half way through and had to struggle my way through the rest. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My latest procrastination effort was to create a map of countries I have read while I should have been doing something else. The nerd in me thought it was kind of cool so I thought I should share.
Countries read this year
Countries read since birth

While the book I read moved me, I didn&#8217;t feel like it went deep enough and it made [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sensible people might ask themselves why anyone would get the idea to read books from 26 different countries as a New Year&#8217;s Resolution.
