list of books read so far in 2007
so, back in january i set a goal of reading 40 books this year. i'm making progress, though i guess i'm technically a bit behind schedule. hopefully the summer will let me catch up...
1. Knife of Dreams - Robert Jordan (ok, technically i read the first 100 pages in 2006, but it's like 800 pages long...)
2-4. Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, Dragondrums - Anne McCaffrey
5. Angela's Ashes - Frank McCourt
6-8. Dragon Flight, Dragon Quest, The White Dragon - Anne McCaffrey
9. Their Eyes Were Watching God - Zora Neale Hurston (not counting most of the books i teach, but I actually sat and read this all the way through before teaching it since i'd only read it once, a long time ago, before)
10. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister Gregory MacGuire
11-13. The Black Gryphon, The White Gryphon, The Silver Gryphon - Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon
14. Enchanted - Orson Scott Card
I just finished the last one last night. Really good book, even if you don't agree with Card's politics. Interesting story and some pretty neat characters.
I am about 1/2way through The Grapes of Wrath but it keeps getting put on the back burner in favor of other things. For example, I started reading Memoirs of Geisha while I ate my lunch at work today, and I'm sure I'll finish it first. But I'll get there eventually. And I still have a small pile of books in my queue, not to mention the fact that I need to reread HP before the last book comes out (though I won't count books 1-3 on the list, since I've read those a gajillion times each).
In summary: yay books!
