Book List

I started tracking the books I read in 2010 when I attempted to read 100 books in one year.  I made it to 35.  In 2011 I attempted 50 books in a year and accomplished my goal.  for 2012 and beyond I will just be trying to keep up with the reading and to record it here.  Putting a number on it as a goal makes it stressful and I have to rush and I tend to read easier faster books.  Now I can take my time and read whatever I like.

This is a no judgement zone.  Not all of these books were good and not all of them are literary works of genius, some you would need to pay me a large amount of money to read again and several of them are for people under age 12.  I read for enjoyment and also to keep myself from wasting too much of my life in front of the instant view netflix queue. 

Feel free to leave me recommendations or ask my opinion on any you see here.
