Book Log

I read a lot. I've been keeping a book log since the beginning of 1999. I've read 1949 books since then (about 91 books per year).

Below is the list for this year. See complete list.

Currently Reading

Time Travel: A History
by James Gleick I got this book at a discount at a Times sale in the atrium of The Centrepoint.

11,002 Things to Be Miserable About
by Lia Romeo and Nick Romeo I bought this at a book sale because it reminded me of a funny book I read, Things That Suck. Same concept.
