Books...
One of my goals for 2010 is to read more books, or at least get through the pile of still unread books that are sitting in my bookcase. I decided to keep track of what I've been reading on my website. Let's see how many I can get to this year!
Book List 2010
-
Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery - Deborah Howe
(Read January 2010) A cute kids' book about a vampire bunny. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
Animal Farm - George Orwell
(Read February 2010) I'm finally starting to catch up on the classics I somehow missed as a kid. -
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. -
Cindy Ellen: A Wild Western Cinderella - Susan Lowell
(Read March 2010) This is one of the books for my In2Books pen pal program. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
