Perfunctory Courtesy.

In 2008, I set myself a goal to watch 300 movies before the end of the year.

For 2009, I’ve challeneged myself to read at least 50 books. I know, it doesn’t sound like a lot but it’s hard to find the time for much more than that. Because I recorded the movies I watched last year on this blog, I thought it would only make sense to do the same with books.
(The date next to a novel is the day I finished reading it.)
