Books read in January 2009:

Something I wanted to do this year was to keep a list of every book I read, each month. This month I feel like I didn't read as much as I'm used to reading; I had bad reading juju; I kept picking books up and putting them down, couldn't get into them. Also: the new semester sapped my attention span. (You can only read so many pages of legalese

I just finished a book called Random Family, by Adrian Nicole LeBlanc. It's non-fiction, about people growing up in New York in he 80s to the present. I found it interesting and not something I normally read.

My other books have been the Gossip Girl series and Tori Spelling's book.

I just finished Curtis Sittenfeld's America Wife and Sarah Vowell's The Partly Cloudy Patriot.

I was getting ready to read Ron Paul's The Revolution, but after getting 6 pages in, I'm not sure I can handle it. My other potential books are something else from Vowell, Jhumpa Lahiri's Unaccustomed Earth or Northanger Abbey.

I'm a big fan of Haruki Murakami's work, so if you're looking for something to read, you can never go wrong with that.
