Books I read in 2008
So, as I was saying, I plan to chronicle the books that I’ve yet to read, but first I need to list the most recent—the ones that I actually own, those that comprise my growing collection. And as the title suggests, the list will contain only the books that I read in 2008, as this is when I started buying books in earnest. It begins with the last thing I've read and works backward, ending with the first thing I read last year:Healing the Unhappy Caveman by Chris Wilson – 2008
