Because it's a new year...because I'm an English teacher...
because I don't make enough time for it...
because I miss being nerdy at William and Mary...
I have pledged to read more books this year. Someone told me that it is better to have goals that are measureable, so, in an effort to make sure I meet my new goal, I've made myself a reading list for 2010. I tried to mix up my list with some new stuff and some good classic literature because, well, I'm just a nerd and like reading classic literature.
The list is long and I'm a slow reader. So no promises, ok? Ok.

That's funny...I have about half or more of these on my "have read" or "to read" list, as well. I believe that I have Prodigal Summer (by Kingsolver) as well as How to Read Lit. like a Prof...let me know if you need to borrow one or both or any others!
