What I Read - 2010

I recently read the article Timothy Hutton:  Literary Sex God (he's cute and smart!).

In the article, he mentioned a literary blog by Lisa Kenney, so I did a search, and found Eudaemonia, which, in addition to her summaries and opinions, also provides links to all the books she's read over the years.

Sometimes I post "book reports", but I read A LOT more than that.

So, to start, here is "What I Read" in 2010...


Disturbing book that made me think "what if?".  (I now have a backpack with food, water, and other necessities by the window to the fire escape.  You know, just in case...)

Sweet, sad love story.

The very interesting story behind Facebook.

I loved The Alchemistbut this was just ok.

LOVED this book!  LOVED IT!

This book prompted a LOT of debate among my friends.  It'd be great for a book club.

I love Chanel - her clothes, and the way she lived her life.

Creepy, but entertaining.

Funny, but entertaining.

A really disturbing story (that I didn't like), set in Iowa (that I did like).

An interesting story that we all know, recommended by the woman working at the bookstore next door to this church.

Everyone loved this series.  (Everyone but me.)

Not nearly as good as it could've been.  (Read my book report here.)

Interesting book about the life of Frank Lloyd Wright.  (Read my book report here.)

AWESOME sequel to The Pillars of the Earth (yes, they're both over 1,000 pages, but they are SO worth it!)

Interesting story about the MIT students who figured out a method of cheating Las Vegas.  I was nervous for them!

LOVED this book.  And the movie!  (Read my book report here.)

I bought this book (appropriately) at City Lights Books in San Francisco.  It was ok.  Written by a woman who briefly dated Jack Kerouac.

This book was recommended by someone who basically is Knulp.  The moral is that we are all living the life we're meant to live.  (Good stuff)

The narrator is Death, and its an oddly-written book.  But, I loved it.  It's set during WW2 and is really sweet and sad.

Interesting story, but a boring book.

Inspirational, but so much easier said than done.

I picked up the poster for this movie when I was cutting through the lobby of a theater in San Francisco.  So, I had to read the book.

If you want to read any of these books too, just click on the image.
