For years, people had been recommending the Harry Potter series to me, to which I would answer – “as soon as I finish my thesis, I will read Harry Potter.” This (finally) happened in December of 2009 and about 5 or 6 weeks later – I had read all seven Harry Potter books. Since college, my down time had been mostly dedicated to working on my thesis or feeling guilty that I wasn’t working on my thesis. And suddenly I could read for fun, no guilt necessary! I am apparently a fast reader. I’ve been in a fabulous book club for almost two years and recently joined a second one.
Because this is my first year of full on fun/ non school-related reading, I decided to keep track of how many books I read it 2010. It is 53 so far. Wait, I finished two this weekend, so maybe 55. I don’t know. I’m going to start an Excel spreadsheet. But the point it, I’ve gotten lots of queries for recommendations, etc. so here you go: what I’ve read so far and if I liked it. I consume books in a variety of formats: ebook, audio, and pbook (paper book). If I particularly enjoyed an audio book, I’ll try to note it. I can’t read on the subway (or planes!) and am especially jealous of people who can. If you’ve never tried audio books or podcasts, I highly recommend them. They are a lovely addition to my commute and many afternoons of data entry.
