Reading List for 2010

If you look to your left over on the side bar there is a list of books. That is where I'm going to post the books that I've read for 2010. I've decided I'm going to set a conservative goal of 1 a week. I'll update the list as I finish and if something really reaches out and grabs me I'll share details here in the blog. If you have any suggestions, please share! I like everything. I try to mix it up and follow serious books with pure trash. LOL.

I think that so far out of the seven titles that I've read I'd encourage everyone to read both Where Men When Glory and The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor. Krakaur did a fantastic job intertwining the policy details about Afghanistan with the human interest story of Pat Tillman; this book just really grabbed me and made me angry. And, I'd recommend the Shipwrecked Sailor because I think it's a great read and a good introduction to Nobel Prize winner, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

AND! I can't believe I forgot The Road by Cormac McCarthy. What a really amazing book. Stark, scary. Definitely at the top of my list for best books.

Happy reading!

On my breaks between classes I am reading "The Road of Lost Innocence" by Somaly Mam. Sad story about human trafficking. The Krakaur book sounds interesting... maybe I'll try to find that one next. AND of course I'm reading textbooks, textbooks, and more REALLY expensive textbooks.

Oh Maya! Text books are never quite the thrilling read that you really want, huh?!
