Having just finished a book today-A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson (Book Review coming this week!)–I am in the process of choosing a new book. I looked to my bookshelf, and nothing really jumped out at me. I undertook an always ambitious task, setting down a reading list. Reading lists–to me, at least–are not rigid in any sense. Merely, they are, a guide, a list of possible upcoming reads. I doubt I’ll get to even half of these books in the next year–but I can sure try!
