read 30 books in 2009

24. Lyra’s Oxford and Once Upon A Time In The North by Philip Pullman

26. What’s Not To Love: The Adventures of a Mildly Perverted Young Writer – Jonathan Ames

23. Test Driven Development: By Example by Kent Beck

(must confess I didn’t read most of the code in this properly, but I got the idea..)

22. Does Anything Eat Bankers? by Andy Zaltzman

So very excellent.

25: Wetlands- Charlotte Roche

Kind of stupid.

21. The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

“Candide” by Voltaire

in

FRENCH!

When I first read this, I liked it, but I didn’t really understand it. I really enjoyed reading it a second time around and learning more about Voltaire’s involvement in Liebnizian optimism. It was cool.

I did this for French Lit class.

I gave up reading 50 this year, I think 30 is more realistic for 2009.

This was the last Burroughs I had left to re-read and also the last book to read for this goal. Now I’m ready to see Augusten next month, read his new book that comes out this month, and work on my next book goal!!
