read 25 books in 2007

Lol, this is so old now. I have found out that eventho i really like too read(increasingly so, too) I am not a fast reader. But that doesnt bother me. I like spending long time on one book. Reading a bit, and then let it sink in, think about it, before I move on. It’s also an emotional time when i finish a book i like, because i dont really want to.. :( :P

So i dont really want this thing anymore. Read like.. 3 to 5,6,7 books maybe, a year. Good for me! :D

Invention of Hugo Caberet—Half- graphic novel- 650 pg book, takes 5 minutes to read

Caine Mutiny-- my FAVORITE book!
'

The Narnia series—GREAT books—not just for kids, as they are also allegories- if you read into them.—HINT: Aslan symbolizes Jesus.

did not work.. :S
BUT ILL TRY AGAIN THIS YEAR :D

I read a bunch but not 25—i will try harder next year to read a few more.

Didn’t quite get it done but that’s okay. My goal for 2008 is 100 so there I go..

Tales from the Bed – Jenifer Estess

so close but I’m definitely trying again for 2008

Some interesting insights into language use in the very recent past. I always enjoy Geoff Nunberg commntaries; his writing is so clear. The rhythm and structure of his writing is wonderfully clean.

Yay, I read 25 books this year. Technically, I could have read a lot more but I didn’t finish 4 of the books that I am currently in the middle of with just a few pages to go.

Here is the complete list:

I couldn’t pick a favorite because I feel like I learned something from each one.

It was good to read 15 books, but in the end I didn’t have time for all 25…how bout this year?
