A list for 2009:

This is list of books I drew up, which I definitely want to read this year - as part of letusread. I keep reading lots of other stuff in between though. Distractions!

In bold, are the ones I have started reading but then stopped for whatever reason. (I tend to read many books at the same time, as you can see…)
The struck out are those I have finished. At the bottom are other, non-list books which I’ve finished reading.

A list of books I plan to read in 2009:

1. The Handmaid’s Tale - Margaret Atwood
2. The Wasp Factory - Iain Banks
3. Status Anxiety - Alain de Botton
4. The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov
5. The Myth of Sisyphus - Albert Camus (About a quarter of the way through this. It’s taking me ages to read because I am finding it hard to understand parts and therefore having to re-read. Plus I get too frustrated with reading it so slowly that I start / finish reading other books instead. I’ll finish one day though…)

Progress is slow but steady due to this, that and the other. (Distractions!) Anyway. I’ve finished university now and am properly getting back into reading again. Which is nice. Still have about twenty books to finish, by the looks of it though. ¬_¬
