My Progress 18 months ago

I’ve been working on this since February and doing well with it until I embarked on a unexpected move down state in early May. I was halfway through my D entry at the time, luckily the only book on my list I owned a copy of. So, I finished that one a week or so later, but I won’t be able to get to E until I get a library card which hopefully will be sometime this or next week.

What I’ve read so far:
A: Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
B: Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin
C: Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather
D: The Dew Breaker by Edwidge Danticat

Next up:
E: Silence by Shusaku Endo

Too Many! 18 months ago

6019 bookmarks on my laptop. Oh dear. Today I started taking baby steps; I began sorting through 2+ years of NPR segments I bookmarked to listen to later, and I’m deleting all but the ones I’ll want to listen to again. Next, it’ll be news stories, and I’ll put them on Stumble Upon, or Facebook, or blog about them, whatever. After that, it’s YouTube videos.
