2007 Reading
I have failed. A year after first accomplishing my goal to read at least 50 books a year, 2007 was a failure, as was 2005. Ah well, 2008's off to a great start! Look through the list and tell me what you think!

did a favorite emerge?
Happy,
Congrats on your acceptance! I would start with #45 on your book list. I would add Borden's biography to the list.
Matt
Matt,
Who is Borden? Could he be the Stinger? Also, A.J., do you have a method to your madness of reading, like a system?
For instance, I read a presidential biography, then a book on theology or Christian living, followed by fiction, and finally, Christian biography. Then I repeat the cycle.
Dad
Raphaelle, I can't really say there was a clear-cut favorite. I enjoyed every book!
Matt, who is Borden?
Dad, I highly doubt it's Sting. And clearly from the list, you can see that there is absolutely no method. For example, right now I'm reading No Country For Old Men. Why? Well, because I usually stand (or crouch) in front our bookshelves and scan almost every title before I decide to dive in. In my head I do think about what I have read recently so as to not camp out in one genre for too long.

Here is the link the book I was referencing. I read it a couple years ago, and it is one of my favorite biographies.
nice list of books, happy! i just finished reading The Kite Runner and can't wait to read A Thousand Splendid Suns by the same author!another great one is Endurance by alfred lansing about earnest shackleton's trek in the antarctic.
this blog inspired me to come back to the blogging world.
And to set a reading goal.
