keeping track of my reading

So I thought I'd keep track of my reading and see how many books I could enjoy in 2010 now that I am no longer in school. (the X by the book means I actually finished it.) Secretly I was trying to read a book a week but some books make it hard. Hears the list; I think this is a good way for me to keep track and come back and finnish some of these books I ended up finding a little bit harder to read.

1. The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery - book club pick X
2. Buddha by [The fact that he leaves his wife and child to find enlightenment really pissed me off so I found myself no longer caring about his path to enlightenment.]
3. Don't Worry Make Money by Richard Carlson, Ph.D. [All very common sense ideas, I really do intend to go back and finnish it.]
4. Comrade Rockstar (the life and mystery of Dean Reed) by Reggie Nadelson [As soon as I find this, I will finnish it.]

10. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey X

12. A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce [He is hard and I'm just not that motivated.]
13. Mirror Mirror by Gregory Maguire X
