My New Year's Resolution - 52 Books in 52 Weeks →
As a long-time fan of largehearted boy, I decided that in 2009 I will follow in his footsteps and read 52 books in 52 weeks.  I’ve been in school for the better part of the last decade so there hasn’t been much of a chance to read non-school related books, so this year I want to focus on reading more. Week/book #1: Whale Music by Paul Quarrington
