These are another couple pictures from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.upf.edu\/bibtic\/es\/\">library<\/a> in Barcelona where I&#8217;ve been spending my time, at the Pompeu Fabra University. Yesterday after lunch I biked to campus, then Juanjo took a run and met me and we biked home together. Barcelona&#8217;s a really great city for biking, the weather is nice, and there are a lot of bike lanes. (Another post soon about the city-wide bike loan system, it&#8217;s really neat!)<\/p>\n<p>Time to start my workday now, but I leave you with two questions: What are you reading right now? And how many books a year do you think you read? I read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/10\/12\/nyregion\/12towns.html?_r=1&amp;em\">a New York Times article<\/a> this morning about a lady that has read a book a day for nearly a year (and written reviews about them on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.readallday.org\/\">her blog<\/a>). It got me thinking about how I read less than I used to, and how I&#8217;d like to read more. I&#8217;m currently reading a Spanish novel called &#8220;La Mano de Fatima&#8221;, and I probably read about 50-60 books a year, not counting professional reading (have never really kept track). What about you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both Juanjo and I have been working a lot this week, him working late coding and making phone calls to California, and me spending time in the library and at my desk at home.
