Reading List 2009
My 2008 Reading List is woefully incomplete. I got behind and gave up completely sometime in June. I'm dating that from some books I borrowed which I couldn't have read earlier than June. I suspect I may have left off a bunch in the middle of those months.
For this year's list, I plan to include the date I finished reading each book. If I post about the book, I will update this post to link to my review.

What’s the most serious book you’ve read recently?I had to review my reading list for 2009 to answer the Booking Through Thursday question.So far this year, the most serious book I've read is The Fountainhead. At nearly 800 pages, reading Ayn Rand's story about an architect who will not compromise his vision is a serious commitment. It took me two and a half weeks. I blogged about it twice - parts one and four - I planned four posts, but it didn't work out. In addition to being physically weighty, The Fountainhead is a statement on Rand's philosophy, Objectivism. ... -

I finally started another book too, "The Choice" by Nicolas Sparks. So far, it's interesting, I just finished ch. 1.

Great. I encourage everyone to read more books. Few hobbies are more relaxing or better for your brain. I've only read one Nicolas Sparks, "The Wedding." It was a nice little book.

I just started "Next" myself! A goodly list and looking forward to the next reviews... oh, and you were right and credit WAS given.

I've got to get on those reviews. Last year, I got behind to the point, I ended up rereading a couple books before writing up a post.
Next was so great. I didn't know wither to be frightened or excited by the science.
I'm glad you're back. Or never left
