Meanderings and Muses: A Brief History of Eloquence

Books Read

Every year I promise myself I'm going to keep a log of books I'm reading. And I immediately forget. Then I remember again, but only after I've already read a few books, but can't be sure I'll remember them all and so - - can't bring myself to start the list. It's sort of like missing the first 30 minutes of a movie. I just can't watch it if I've missed the beginning. And being the anal ol' soul I am, I can't bring myself to start a list if I can't be sure it's going to be a complete one. So. I decided to keep a list during 2010 and found it to be a fun thing. Especially for a compulsive list-maker like myself.

You can see my 2010 list here -
