Open books

As a continuation of the book reading project I started last year, I’m going to post the list of books I’d like to read this year. This isn’t a hard and fast list, as things are going to be added to it all the time. Really, this is just a list of the books that I want to read. Many of them are leftovers from the huge list I ended up with last year. I’m not setting a number goal for myself, as I’ve chosen several books that are probably going to take me quite a while to read. Instead, I’m just going to call this year’s reading project Open Books. I’ll be adding links on this page to the individual review entries as I post them. Read past book review entries here. If you have any suggestions, I’d be happy to add them to the list, which follows:
