read 100 books in 2009
another try 11 months ago

k, 2008 was a bust for reading unless I were to count all of the books I read my one-year-old daughter (in which case I’ve probably read several hundred (I’ve probably read Good Boy, Fergus at least 50 times :) )).

I’ll give this another try with an early start on Dec 10th (since I read about half of a John Brunner short story collection yesterday).

Books I’d really like to read this year:
Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon
The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano
Sense and Sensibility/Jane Austen (somehow have never gotten to this one)
+ 97+ more :)

clean out my inbox

I have never really bothered to archive anything using gmail. Maybe not worth it at this point.

make a friend
Untitled 11 months ago

hmm… other than my wife, I probably haven’t made any friends in the past decade (plenty of acquaintances). OK, “making” our daughter doesn’t count, although she’s wonderful!
