Red Mosquito

Excuse me while I spend a few days getting mine together. I want it primarily to consist of writers other than Bolaño and DFW, that's for sure. It's high time I branch out.

In lieu of my list, enjoy this preview from The Millions: http://www.themillions.com/2013/01/most ... eview.html

The Hunger Games.

"Gravity's Rainbow"

I've been fearing it ever since I bought it four years ago.

to read more. On a regular basis.

My comprehensive exam list :-/

I want to read The Name of the Wind and Wise Man's fears by Patrick Rothfuss and Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy.

After that We'll see.

Something besides comics....

3 books a month, or something along those lines.

Got my three for January sorta planned out, but nothing really planned for the year as a whole.

Still afraid.

Good news is that I finally finished "The Brothers Karamazov".

I ended up reading 43 books in 2013, which sounds crazy to me since right in the middle I wrote the longest assignment of my life (50+ pages in 10 days). That was just 1 more than 2012. Since 2009 I've done:

2009: 38
2010: 63
2011: 51
2012: 42
2013: 43

It's crazy to think that probably 1/2 of the reading I do can't be numerated in "book" form. Also, 43 of the books read in 2010 were in the first 6 months of the year; if I hadn't gone back to school, I could have easily read 100 that year. But 47 books per year ain't bad!

1/1

i'm forced to wonder what reed's musical choices would be paired with that book. miles davis seems a bit too cliched and public enemy too... uh, black.
