At the beginning of 2011, I challenged myself to read 52 books, and to document the year in 52 pictures and journal entries.
I will be honest and say I fell short of my goal on the journal entries, and as for the pictures, I plain shit the bed on that project around August/ September.
However! Thanks to audiobooks and my two hour daily commute, I have actually exceeded my book reading goal for the year. I won't give the entire list, since some of them were frankly rubbish, but here are my "Best of Read 2011:"
Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell
Super Freakonomics Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner
Robbing The Bees Holly Bishop
When You Are Engulfed In Flames David Sedaris
Packing For Mars Mary Roach
A Stroke of Insight Jill Bolte Taylor
The Gifts of Imperfection Brene' Brown
Naked David Sedaris
Precious Sapphire
