what i’m reading, have read and will read?
Not sure if you’ve ever noticed that I have a tab for my current Reading List, but I thought that I would archive the 2006 details here for, well, archival purposes of sorts:
Books I’ve Read in 2006:
The Kite Runner
JPod
Suite Francaise
An Audience of Chairs
A Year of Magical Thinking
She’s Come Undone
The Devil Wears Prada
On Beauty
Audio Books I’ve Listented To:
The Penderwicks
Mountains Beyond Mountains
Shadowman
The Coffee Trader
The Good Life
The Myth of You and Me
The Horse Whisperer
A Brief Chapter in My Impossible Life
Mr. Mau’s Travelling Couch
The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
I can’t believe I only read 8 books in full this year. I used to read dozens! Even before University. Maybe I can make an effort to up this to at least 1 book a month, so 12? Surely I can do that. Right? Especially with the 1001 Books You Must Read Before you Die list and book club motivating me? Right?
Keep looking at my Reading List for 2007 and help encourage me on! I need your support and snyde comments people!
Keep on reading!!!
I’m sure you are aware of the advantages of audio books so I’ll spare you the lecture.

Thanks for the site. I typically get CDs, not downloads, but might try downloading one, one of these days.

You know, I didn’t really like either she’s come undone or the devil wears prada. I did like the devil wears prada movie though. She’s come undone was just too contrived or something. I did really enjoy On Beauty — at least the first three quarters of it. You can click on the links above to see what I thought of each title.

hey me too, i love the movie! it’s meryl streep, anne hathaway and emily blunt who really made it work.
well, it’s the last quarter that makes a book worthy isn’t it? i think i’ll borrow it so i won’t waste money if i don’t like it…

I guess it was just too predictable.
Definitely give it a shot. Let me know what you think.
