The 2008 Booklist

Welcome to 2008. I'm going to do better this year. I know I've never said anything like that before. ;-)

This year, there will be a slight change in the nature of my reading. Andrew gave me a Sony Digital Book for Christmas (Best Present Ever!) so while I will be doing some of my reading in the traditional way, I will also be reading the classics (100 free books!) digitally. I'll be blogging those the same way as other books, but I will note which ones are digital and which are the more traditional page turning sort.

I'm also keeping a tally, because I think that it will be interesting, and because maybe if I have the motivation of keeping an accurate count it'll get me to do this blogging thing with slightly greater regularity.

With that:
2008 Paper Books Read: 16
