2009 Progress

Last year I challenged myself to read 10 books. I had gone for 20 the year before and found it was too much pressure. I met the challenge on November 17. Through the year I revised the list so here it is with read and unread books as it finally shook out:

So Brave, Young, and Handsome by Leif Enger - read
Fine Just the Way it is, by Annie Proulx - read
No One Heard Her Scream, by Jordan Dane - read
His Illegal Self, by Peter Carey
When Will There be Good News? by Kate Atkinson - read
Descartes' Bones, by Russell Shorto
The Brass Verdict by Michael Connelly - read
The Private Patient by P. D. James. - read
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver et al - read
Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell - read
Away, by Amy Bloom - read

American Wife, by Curtis Sittenfeld - read

I have not chosen a list for 2010 yet but expect I'll put the unread books from my 2009 list on it and expand from there. I love that we are choosing from several years now because sometimes just the right book comes along and it's from a year or so back.
