Hungry Like the Woolf 
One thing that would be nice here is the link to your blog entry for each of these 2009 reads. But that might be a little much also.
Good point, Tony. That should have been obvious to me. It constitutes a little work, but would save my visitors a fair amount of trouble. Thanks, I will remedy the oversight.
I must say that my 2009 Books Purchased list is much more impressive than my 2009 Reads list—I should start a blog and just publish the former and maybe no one will notice that I’m not actually getting in much reading. Truth is I’ve never been a fast reader, unlike some members of my family who can literally (pun?) consume two books a day; two books a month for me is more like it, so I have to be choosy. I do enjoy, though, going through lists like yours because there are a few things on it I can connect with—i.e. Willa Cather and Vladamir Nabakov are two of my favorite authors. I recently subscribed to the Library of America and they publish their complete works in, relative to the price, very nice volumes.
My goal for 2010: to read 50 books, so on January 1 early I’m gonna have to get crackin’.
Oh btw, Vladamir Nabakov (not to be confused with Vladimir Nabokov) is the author of “Speek Memry.”
I am doing my level best to keep the “Books Purchased” list and the “Books Read” list close to even. In fact, I actually ran a slight, very slight, surplus of “Books Read”. I had a little more time this year and put quite a bit more effort into finishing books. I am going to try to push towards 100 books in 2010.
Come back for my 2009 recap during the first week of January. I am trying to squeeze in a few “highly regarded” 2009 works before the end of the year (I have only read seven 2009 works so far).
Thanks for the comment!
