Reading List for 2009
Monday, January 05, 2009
Last year I came up with a list of ten books to read next and kept adding to it as I finished books. I'm not so ambitious this year, but here are the books that I'd like to read by the end of the year next year. Other books may come into the mix as they're published (mostly as I can't resist), but I want to read these as well. There are 18 books on the list. It's a lot to read in 12 months.

Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
The Collected Stories of Amy Hempel - Amy Hempel
The Dying of the Light - George R. R. Martin

Wow, that's quite a list! I've only read one of those, the one by Margaret Atwood. My Mom, who's quite the reader is re-reading all of Jane Austin. I normally enjoy non-fiction more than fiction, and Austin is light reading but I sort of like it too!

And like a lot of books I am halfway through Misquoting Jesus.
