In the past year, minus the collections of short stories, textbooks and online reading, my total reading count comes to forty-nine books, just short of reading one a week. I’m not really sure how I feel about this total. Many of the reads came as a result of my English major, and not of my own volition; however, I can honestly say many of the novels I was forced to read have earned a place among my most treasured volumes.
Next year I would like to read much more, and I suspect my overfilled personal library would have to agree.
