Books 2008
Back for the 4th year in a row is the yearly book list. It all started in 2005 when Elwing posted the 50/50 book challenge where you try to read 50 new books and 50 old books in one year. I didn’t have a chance at meeting the challenge, but it did motivate me to pick up an old habit of recreational reading. Since then I have managed between 23-25 books a year — not bad since I no longer ride the Metro to work (a great place to read a book). My personal goal is 25 books for the year.
