Read at least 10 books a year (part of my newly forming life list)

It's mid Dec and I'm ahead of the game (technically) 19 months ago

Almost final count for 2007:

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling
2. The Know-It-All, A.J. Jacobs
3. Across the River and into the Trees, Ernest Hemingway
4. Yeager, An Autobiography, General Chuck Yeager and Leo Janos
5. How to Marry Money, Kevin Doyle (sounds horrible; but, actually a tongue in cheek riot)
6. Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, J.K. Rowling
7. Quidditch Through the Ages, J.K. Rowling
8. Cat’s Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut
9. Eat, Pray, Love
10. Fantastic Mr. Fox, Roald Dahl
11. George’s Magnificent Medicine, Roald Dahl
12. The Twits, Roald Dahl

Yeah…a bit of a Dahl binge…but I bought them as gifts for my nieces and just figured I’d never read them, so I’d give them a go. Great stuff…candy for the brain. Also, stillll reading Anna Karenina and Dahl made for a great break from one of the boring bits where Tolstoy goes off about farming practices (which are now completely antiquated anyway). It’s my December resolution to finish Anna up by the new year though, so I can finally get on to some books that aren’t a thousand pages. :)



Finished 9. Eat, Pray, Love 21 months ago

Just getting back to Anna Karenina and also thinking about starting Legacy of Ashes. It’s either that, or Omnivore’s Dilemma next. Or, Confessions of an Economic Hitman.



Okay, let's see how I'm doing so far... 22 months ago

So far for 2007 (this is also a test of memory!):

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling
2. The Know-It-All, A.J. Jacobs
3. Across the River and into the Trees, Ernest Hemingway
4. Yeager, An Autobiography, General Chuck Yeager and Leo Janos
5. How to Marry Money, Kevin Doyle (sounds horrible; but, actually a tongue in cheek riot)
6. Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, J.K. Rowling
7. Quidditch Through the Ages, J.K. Rowling
8. Cat’s Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut

Also currently working on Anna Karenina & Eat, Pray, Love…which would bring me to 10 already, so I may need to up this yearly number.
