read a new book every month

and Selected Stories by Kate Chopin. Really depressing actually…

Working on several books at the same time – not efficient, but seems to be working.

I did finish Beautiful Mind – awesome story… VERY different from the movie.

by Sylvia Nassar. I love this book so far, but don’t think I’ll be able to finish it, only about 1/2 way through.

I reread Harry Potter books 6 and 7 last weekend… doesn’t that count? I guess not since I’ve read these before.

John Adams by David McCullough

Amazing biography – Truly inspiring – especially Abigail Adams who comes alive through her letters.

Better than Beauty – A Guide to Charm by by H Valentine; A Thompson
-Entertaining, funny, and amazingly spot on!

The Newman’s Own Organics Guide to a Good Life: Simple Measures That Benefit You and the Place You Live by Nell Newman
-some good ideas

A book about a guy who goes to Namibia to teach as a volunteer… can’t remember the name right now.

I re-read The Hobbit and the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Doesn’t actually count as something new but at least I’m reading…

Next of Kin – Roger Fouts

Children of Hurin – JRR Tolkien
(Christopher Tolkien, editor)

Not bad actually, much more complete than the Book of Lost Tales. The story is kinda sad, but well written.

In Spite of the Gods by Edward Luce
India Unbound – Das
The Sex Life of Cannibals – Maarten Troost
Tuesdays with Morrie – Mitch Albom
