I am a crazy lover of books…a true and honest bookworm! And so in setting goals for myself in 2010, creating a reading list seemed like a good idea. This year I am trying to focus on two things: Balancing my love of fiction with non-fiction and increasing my knowledge of the classics. When left to my own impetuous reading style, I tend to stick completely to inspirational and popular fiction, leaving non-fiction and more difficult reads on the shelf. However I do love the classics once I get into them, and I want to be a better reader of true experiences. I’m hoping my new booklist will keep me on track! A friend of mine has said that, “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body,” and I plan on “working out” quite a bit these coming months.
And so, here is my 2010 booklist! Wish me luck! 🙂
