I must admit that I'm quite skeptical that I can actually achieve this goal. Inspired by Sara, I wrote this plan to read 4 books in ten subject areas. Perhaps since we no longer have television access I can do it. It is sort of pathetic that I need to make a goal of reading just 40 books but for right now it is the best I can do. I take comfort knowing that someday there will be more time to read.
I'm taking suggestions (see below). Please tell me if you enjoyed (or not) any of these books. I love hearing from you.
