2010

So we are a little bit into 2010 now, and so far, so good.

I didn’t really make any “resolutions” at the beginning of the year, that’s not really my thing. I would rather have goals all the time, than ones just in January.

One thing that is kind of like a goal though, is I am going to start a 2010 reading list that will include things I want to read this year, and things I have read this year.

My mom keeps list of all the books she reads. At first I thought this sounded tedious and silly. I tried it though and it really helps. It feels good to see all the books you have read because, if you are like me, unless I own it and can see it on my bookshelf I forget. These kind of lists are also good just for reference.

So here is the start of my 2010 to read/have read reading list. (italics books are completed for the year)

The Summer Of the Great Grandmother, Madeline L’Engle
The Irrational Season, Madeline L’Engle
Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis
Surprised By Joy, C.S. Lewis
A  Long Obedience, Eugene H. Peterson
The Question Of God, Dr. Armand M. Nicholi Jr.
The Singer,  Calvin Miller
The Song, Calvin Miller
The Finale, Calvin Miller
Les Miserable, Victor Hugo
The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dosteovsky
Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte
Moby Dick, Herman Melville
The Confessions of St. Augustine
Maybe some Jane Austen
Mythology, Edith Hamilton
Great Classical Myths
East, Edith Pattou
Something by Kierkegaard
Something by Tolstoy
More Anne Lamott
More Poetry.. Any Poetry.
Many Cookbooks
Many Photography Books, hopefully more technical ones

I am sure this list will be expanded.. and some of it might be over ambitious.
