What I'm Reading

Since 2008, I have been keeping track the books I read each year. I've decided to migrate this year's list so you can see what I've been reading (as you can see I'm a sucker for narrative non-fiction). If you've read any of these or have any recommendations feel free to let me know. In 2012, my goal will be to join in some sort of reading challenge and use this blog to discuss and/or record what I've read.

Challenges I'm considering: the Scienticity.net 2012 Science Book Challenge, one of the annual challenges on Librarything, or one posted on Novel Challenge. Novel Challenge is a great blog that seeks to create a one stop spot for the latest online reading challenges.
