Another year has gone by and another book list is going up. The list is more varied than last. Still tons of texts related to grad school, but also a good handful of “I need a break from this crazy pace” reads.
The list is organized into categories of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry/theatre and are listed in date order such that books I read early in the year are listed first and books I read more recently are listed later. And in the rare case in which I wrote a review over at GoodReads, I have included the link.
Wishing you a celebratory end to 2008 and a joyful beginning to 2009!
