** I did read other books in 2008 and 2009, except that this page somehow deleted its entire contents so the listing disappeared. I managed to salvage what is here from the Internet Wayback Machine. When I find time, I’ll fill in the blanks. **

book bites (the ones that didn’t make it)

1. Grass sister / by Gillian Mears

philosophy

I’m attempting to read 52 books this year. Largely because Tom, David, Howie, et. al attempt to watch 52 movies each year, and I figured why not books instead. There are no book rules regarding genre or minimum number of pages as such; however, I will loosely follow the Nancy Pearl 50 Page Rule. If, having read 50 pages (or 10% if the book has less than 50 pages), the book is just not resonating with me, it can be put aside. Those “book bites” will be listed too. And it really doesn’t matter if the target isn’t reached. The point is just to read more.
