What I read in '08, part two!
On April 1st of 2008, I posted a list of what I had read so far that year. Here's the rest of what I read in 2008
April 1st's list had 57 titles on it. I'm choosing to count each comic title as one book, although in fact many of graphic novels and trade paperback collections I read have as many as 8 volumes.
This list has 39 titles on it, which puts me around 96 books(not counting repeat reads or multi-volumes graphic novels. So I guess if i counted those multi-volume trades, i'd be well over my goal of 100 books.
I feel like I read less than I used to, and I wish I had read a greater variety of books. But at the same time, I read a huge volume of blogs and articles on my Google Reader.
I've got two books on the list for 2009 so far. Next year's list will be in order, too, which should be interesting!
If the title is followed by an ellipses, i started it but haven't finished it, or don't intend to finish it.
Here's the rest of what I read,not in order:
Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain
A Cooks Tour by Anthony Bourdain
