Book Readin'

Keeping track of books I've read

I just started this blog because I wanted to have a space to write about the books I've been reading. I didn't read very much for years and years- maybe it was depression, maybe it was life situation. I started reading gardening books about 5 years ago.

In 2005 I read a whole lot.

I read gardening books: Diary of a Compost Hotline Operator

I read The Essential Agrarian Reader

I started really reading when I went on a trip to Europe. You wouldn't believe how many books and magazines I brought with me and didn't read! But I did read The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, by Oscar Hijuelos. It is a very beautiful and moving book. I was introduced to Dan Brown on this trip, and read half of Angels and Demons on the way home.

I read memoirs: 50 Acres and a Poodle, and a Cafecito Story by Julia Alvarez, and Girl, Interrupted... and another of Alvarez's books

I read all six Harry Potter books from the week of Thanksgiving until late January.

I read two books by Christopher Moore- Bloodsucking Fiends, and a book about a pilot's adventures

I read books by Dan Brown: Angels and Demons, Deception Point, and Digital Fortress. Just this week, I finished The DaVinci Code

I didn't finish 5 Acres and Independence, or How to Grow More Vegetables, or many issues of Permaculture Activist
