Reading in 2012
January 17th, 2012 § Leave a Comment
If you enjoy reading, meet me over on Goodreads.com. I’m on a mission to read as many NEW books as I can in 2012, by which I mean many 21st century novels, but I’m willing to stretch back to, say, the latter half of the 20th. I got a head start by reading two in December, because cheating is allowed, so that puts me at four books so far:
1) Outer Dark (1994) by Cormac McCarthy
2) The Hunger Games (2008) by Suzanne Collins
3) The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979) by Douglas Adams
4) A Visit from the Goon Squad (2010) by Jennifer Egan
And I’m currently starting on The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake (2010) by Aimee Bender, thanks to a strong recommendation by a trusted reader.
Speaking of sadness, I can’t believe that even if I can maintain a two and a half books per month average, I will have only read 30 books this year. I have at least that many on my mental to-read list already!
