I'm doing 43 things
21. The Cat Bible by Tracie Hotchner (attention catcher) (counts as 1/2 because I skipped some irrelevant chapters, makes up for a leftover 1/2 book last month)
22. Anna Karenina: Cliff Notes (book club) (Yes, I’m counting it as a whole book, it took a week to read. No I’m not claiming to have read Anna Karenina, I’m claiming to have read an 80 page discussion of Anna Karenina )
23. A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson (attention catcher)
24. V for Vendetta by Alan Moore (fun fiction)
25. Best American Science Writing 2007 edited by Gina Kolata (attention catcher)
I’m half way done at mid-year which is right on track so I know this goal is reasonable.
I’d set out to read books in the following categories: feminism (literature, history & philosophy,) comparative religions especially Buddhism, anything that will further my career, beer & wine, book club selections, fun fiction, and anything else that catches my attention. For fun, lets see how I’m doing on these.
Feminism: 2
Religions: 3
Career: 3
Beer & Wine: 1
Book Club: 6
Fun Fiction: 4
Attention Catcher (non-fiction): 8
Looks like I’m dominated by my always shifting topics of interest. I think I need to make a real effort to get more Feminist and Beer related reading in.
