I found some really unique poetry books in our small town library that were written by a former teacher of our little high school. They are very earthy and what you might expect of a Nebraska poet.
The poet is Edna May Klumpp. And I'm not sure where you can find them, but they are small volumes and a quick read.

Yeah, 62 for me so far this year, and I'm in class forty hours a week. It's easy if you just bring a book with you everywhere you go. Even if you just read for half an hour before bedtime, that's three and a half hours a week -- enough to finish a book, maybe two. What's even more helpful is borrowing a bunch of books from the library and trying to finish them all before they're due back.

I always have two going at a time, one at work, the other at home.
So far I've only finished one this summer, which was Shaman's Crossing, by Robin Hobb.

How fast do you friggin' read?! It takes me like 24 hours to read a book. Then again, I'm an exception, but still, 3.5 hours for a book!? (maybe two!)

I read about a page and a half, two pages a minute... Depending on the page size.
