65 Books of 2010; 75 Books 2011

I don’t know if I can actually get to 75 books in one year, but I’m thinking it’s possible — I definitely can do 50 again, but I’ve got some longer books on my list than the discworld books were. Below are two lists — a recap of 2010, and a goal list for 2011. Books from 2010 will get a grade: A for OMG READ, B for Pretty Solid, C for readable, D for barely readable, and F for STAY AWAY

  1. 1

    Oooo some of these are really making me want to add them to my list…like the Female Brain, Letters to a Christian Nation, The Importance of Being Earnest…damn you Ashley!

  2. 3

    The handful of these I’ve read are great, and a few more on your list look really cool too. The Demon Haunted World is probably the best book on skepticism I’ve read. Good luck, and, uh, Book It!
