Book List

I used to read two books a month. Then I didn’t.

I used to write down the books I read. Then, well, I didn’t.

So this is an attempt to keep reading. Public humiliation has to work, right?

2015 (This year, I’m attempting a year of “classics” that I’ve never gotten around to reading, including in high school where I probably should have … but I’m sure I’ll mix in the regular junk, too)

Well, I guess I’d better get back to it …
