Success! I achieved my 2011 goal of 48 books last night by finishing The Story of Beautiful Girl. Looking back, my goal of 48 seems somewhat puny. I'm proud of myself, though, for transforming myself from an Internet surfer back to a reader of books. The purpose of my 48 books challenge was simply to get back into the habit of reading. Next year's challenge of two books a week will be more focused on reading great literature and learning about subjects that intrigue me.
Up next for this year:
- Paris Was Ours, Penelope Rowlands (will finish tonight)
- Freakonomics (a literally dog-eared copy once ingested by a canine friend)
- Black Sun by Julia Kristeva, a writer who managed to intrigue me in grad school even when I wanted to hit my professor in the head with Etrangers a Nous-Memes
