Books of 2008-2012
I decided to keep track of the books I'm reading in 2008 with my own personal "rating". All books on this list I read in its whole. Feel free to check this list often and if you want to strike up a conversation of the books we have in common or to get further thoughts on the ones I have read, I'll be happy to discuss it. Also, if you want to know when I add a new book to the list, just tell me and I'll make sure I alert you each time one is added. :)
