heavy reading ahead
Lots and lots of books to read in the new year.
To start me out, I'm going to be tackling:
I also have the collected works of James Merrill sitting here waiting for me to crack open:
Trying to knock a few more off my massive lifelong booklist...I managed to check off about 50 this year, which is good considering that I only started it midyear. There are about 4k books on that list overall. I read about 21 or so books that are not on the main list, not counting all the many nonfiction Rome books I have been reading for research on my book. If I was only tackling books on my big list I probably would have plowed through a lot more. Goal this upcoming year is 100 books off the main booklist. Shouldn't be too hard...I read about 800 words a minute.
This week I read:
I also have been reading through You on a Diet which is pretty good, actually. Figured I could use some motivation in 2008. :)
I'll probably also snag a book on CD at the library, actually. I find that I really like listening on my drive to work. Right before Christmas I finished Pompeii, which I highly recommend.
Oh, and I zoomed through The Glass Castle right before Christmas. VERY VERY good--a book that will sit with me for years to come.
I think that's enough bookish things for now, don't you think?
