I didn't set a specific number of books, but I read 52 last year. I'm at 10 already, but that is not going to continue. 50 will still be a good number to complete.

I finished up Markus Zusak, The Book Thief. A wonderful book. As some had pointed out, it was a little slow moving to start and at times the writing style seemed choppy to start, but the phrasing caught with me and so did the storyline. Recommended highly.

I also read Ted Hughes, Birthday Letters which I really wanted to read. I wasn't disappointed. Apologies to the Literary Book Club as I choose my nomination over Whitman to read for poetry.
