As fall semester of 2010 comes to a close here at USU, I decided that I would do the math and figure out how much reading I have done this semester. In total I have read 14 books, part of 5 books, 14 short stories, about 40 poems, studied 2 songs, 2 movies, and I wrote 8 papers that were due for assignments. (This doesnt count the essays I wrote for tests and stuff...) Dang thats a lot of reading when you consider that I probably got on facebook and read people's status everyday and the occational blog, plus writing my own blog.
Anyway below is a list of the books I have read, because that's the number that I am most proud of. I will put a * by the ones I think are worth reading. If you have any questions about the books feel free to comment and ask. I would love you fill you in.
