My 2009 Reading
Forum category
I track my reading so I can evaluate my study habits. Every six months I start a separate list of books of which I’ve read all or a significant portion. Anyone who wants to talk about reading, study habits, any subject represented in this list, or any of the individual works, I’d love to hear from you. Oh, the asterisks represent books that I found exceptionally helpful, insightful, or moving. Of course, an asterisk does not necessarily imply that you will enjoy the work as much as I did.
