Every year I say I’m going to chart the books I finish reading that year. I never really make it past February. This year I’m totally going to try. Again.
A few things I need/want to read this year:
Freedom, Jonathan Franzen
Nothing Left to Burn, Jay Varner
Winter’s Bone, Daniel Woodrell
Palo Alto, James Franco*
everything Aimee Bender has written that’s not Willful Creatures and Lemon Cake
(*seriously, I intend to read this, if only to be more intelligent about my bitterness)
What else are you recommending?

I am just starting Tablet and Pen – an anthology of 20th century writing from the Middle East edited by Reza Aslan. So far, it’s really good and interesting. Haven’t read much fiction this year other than Young Adult.
