2006 book list
At the beginning of last year I decided to start a book journal to keep track of what I read during the year. At the time, I set a goal to read 50 titles by 2007. It seemed possible at first, but that was when I lived in Geneva, with few English-language TV stations and a room full of Jehovah Witnesses to avoid at least once a week. I hit 26. Here's the list. If you want my opinion on a specific book, or want to recommend one for this year, let me know.

great mix of books. i like the idea of putting a goal number on for the year...
Hey Kendra! I really like your blog. I hope we can talk soon.
I made a similar goal for my 2007 new year's resolution, must say I am already falling behind.
If you want a few good SHORT books to read, I recommend "The Pleasure of My Company" by Steve Martin, and "Darkness Visible" by William Styron, which I'm reading now. You will finish them quickly.
