Book List 2010

1. Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery - Deborah Howe
   (Read January 2010) A cute kids' book about a vampire bunny.
2. Revolutionary Road - Richard Yates
   (Read January 2010) Very captivating and beautiful story; Loved it as a book, but not sure if I'll see the movie.
3. The Accidental Tourist - Anne Tyler
   (Read January 2010) This is a quirky, funny, and sad book; the main character reminds me of me in an odd kind of way.
4. The Namesake - Jhumpa Lahiri
   (Read February 2010) The book is a little predictable, but there were so many similarities between their family and mine, that I found it captivating.
5. Animal Farm - George Orwell
   (Read February 2010) I'm finally starting to catch up on the classics I somehow missed as a kid.
6. Wilma Unlimited: How Wilma Rudolph Became the World's Fastest Woman - Kathleen Krull
   (Read February 2010) This is one of the books for my In2Books pen pal program.
7. Cindy Ellen: A Wild Western Cinderella - Susan Lowell
   (Read March 2010) This is one of the books for my In2Books pen pal program.
8. The Design of Everyday Things - Donald A. Norman
   (Read March 2010) This book really changed the way I think about design, and it's not even about websites.
9. The Tao of Pooh - Benjamin Hoff
   (Read March 2010) I'd read this book before (in college), but re-reading it was an experience. I actually was poked by a random Taoist on the train to talk about the book.
10. Rain - Karen Duve
    (Read April 2010) Kind of depressing. It probably didn't help that I read this book during the great Boston flood of 2010.
11. Foundation - Isaac Asimov
    (Read May 2010) I finally made it through this book (after a couple of tries). Now I need to read the rest of the series.
12. Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light - Mort Rosenblum
    (Read June 2010) This book makes me want to eat better chocolate (despite the fact that I grew up on Hersheys). I know have a whole list of places to visit.
