12 Books
A while back, my friends, Jill and E, started this 12 books challenge. I don't remember all the details, and I guess I could go back and read what they did, but instead I'll just go ahead with what I think it was. I made a list of books as part of my New Year's resolution that I wanted to read performance birthday. (Not the one next week, but the one a year from next week.) It started out as six and moved to 10 and finally I have 12 books on my list, so I may as well do the 12 book challenge. If I remember correctly, I'm supposed to list 12 books I want to read, read them in a year, and review them as I go. The books I listed cover a fairly wide range. I have some classic, some recent fiction, some nonfiction.
Anyway, Miranda is getting impatient, so here's the list:
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
The Happiness Project
Half Empty*
Our Endangered Values
Quicksilver
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles*
Bleak House*
How to Survive a Science Fictional Universe*
Mrs. Dalloway
The Sot Weed Factor*
A Brief History of Time
How to Talk to Kids So They'll Listen and Listen So They'll Talk
*Books I will need to buy or borrow. That may go against the spirit of the project. Perhaps I was supposed to choose books I already own. Well, most of these have been on my "to read" list for far too long anyway.
