Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s almost 2012? I feel like I’m living in the future. Sierra Godfrey’s post last week reminded me that I used to wrap up the year with a list of the books I’d read that year. My goal is always to read two books a month, and with two [...] 1. Buy a book from an independent bookstore I know it’s hard to pay $27 for a hardcover when you can get the same book on Amazon for $17.

At the age of six I remember [...] I’m reading Memoir: A History, which, like most books I read these days, is taking me weeks because every time I get into bed and open the book, about three pages in I’m sound asleep. But this is a great book that covers everything from the very first autobiographies to the present day Six-Word Memoirs [...] Bought the 3G iPad on Friday! I haven’t used it that much yet, but here are my initial reactions: It’s beautiful. The interface is gorgeous. Everything about it is slick and delicious.
