Blogocentric Formulations

2010 Reading Goal Met!

Way back in January - you know, that pesky time of the year when you make a whole bunch of resolutions that usually end up unrealized - I resolved to read 26 books this year... an average of one every two weeks. Surprisingly, with more than ten weeks left in the calendar year, I'm proud to say that I've reached my goal and actually achieved my New Years' resolution (one of them, anyway ). The books that I read this year are:
