Here, you can view the documentation of my reading in the year of 2012. There is no limit to where this reading will take me, yet I hope to explore and uncover a number of novels, between fiction and nonfiction, plays, essays and memoirs. As it stands, I have more books on my “to read” list than there are days in a year, but I am always open to suggestions. I have no intention to review said books, as my notes and reviews lie within the pages themselves. If I read it, chances are I’ve taken something away from it. Each exploration of a book holds lessons for those who seek them. That said, I’m looking forward to diving into the pages. Here’s some Barnes and Noble coupon codes and you can join me.

i love reading about what others are reading! also, from following your lifestream, i’ve seen you’re reading some pretty awesome, educationa l& philosophical stuff and you’re totally inspiring me (for example; i need to read Walden – the book has popped up several times in the past month or so, i’m taking it as a sign)!
Walden is definitely on my list as well! It’s true, I’m trying to keep up on reading more philosophical texts, but this wanderlust kick I’m on is making me get itchy feet. Might just have to give up my life as a blogger to go…”into the wild.” (;

Goodreads.com is a good way to keep track of what youre reading and want to read.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I’m already on way too many “social networking” sites as it is! I have no intention of reviewing any of the books, and I certainly don’t need any suggestions, as my pile of “to read” books seems to grow each day. (; But thank you! I think the site is a neat concept, just not for me. xx
