I like to read. I read a bunch in 2008 and I want to continue that in 2009. Several of the books that I read this year were off the cuff. I didn't plan on reading them but I would pick them up at airports or borrow them from others. I'm going to take a different approach this year and make a list to stick to.
This list runs the gamut. Fiction, Non-Fiction, Literature, Biographies, Inspiration and a few classics...36 in total, average of 3 a month...
I have a few already but still need to get a bunch...If you want to hook a brother up with a gift or let him borrow one, that would be swell...
And in the spirit of the upcoming Inaguation, I'm going to start off 2009 with Nixonland and Audacity of Hope.
