Books I've Read, 2008

I love reading, and this year I decided to keep a list of the books I read. It seems that 2008 was the year of non-fiction:

+Elvis Is Titanic by Ian Klaus
+Daring Book for Girls by Andrea J. Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz
+Dangerous Book for Boys by Conn and Hal Iggulden
+Holes by Louis Sachar (Great movie too!)
+The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffennegger
+I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert
+The Woman Who Wouldn't by Gene Wilder
+The Green Book by Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas M. Kostigen
+Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Ugh! Terrible, boring book!)
+Burning Bright by Tracy Chevalier (not as good as her previous works)
+The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
+America (The Book) by Jon Stewart & the Daily Show Writers
+The Wives of Henry VIII by Antonia Fraser
+Living Like Ed by Ed Begley Jr.
+Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell (reread)
+Twilight by Stephanie Meyer (I really don't see what the big deal is, but I'll keep reading- for now)
+New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
+Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer (and now I get a vampire break while Jenny reads Breaking Dawn!)
+Born Standing Up by Steve Martin (One of the best books I've ever read; seriously moving, funny, and inspiring)
+Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer


Best Book: Tie between Elvis is Titanic and Born Standing Up. Both were greatly inspiring and challenge the way you see the world (both in very different ways).

Worst Book: "I read Love in the Time of Cholera... More like 'Love in the Time of Don't-Bothera.' " --Robin, 'How I Met Your Mother'
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Looking forward to in 2009: Just starting re-reading the Harry Potter series for the millionth time, and plan to cap it off with Tales of Beedle the Bard, which I received for Christmas. Then on to The Kite Runner, The Wordy Shipmates, and Inside Inside (maybe not in that order though).
Also, still waiting for that movie adaptation of 'The Time Traveler's Wife.'
