I read, a lot. Not to say I go cover to cover on every book I borrow from the Vancouver Public Library. Some books I scan for insights and ideas. Some books are pure fun and entertainment. Some are whims of browsing, worth carrying home for a closer look but not always read thoroughly.
February 10, 2008 - this should probably be a blog post, but what if I just want to keep track of the whole year and add a few comments? More to ponder. For now, I'll keep a simple alphabetical list. Although I'm tempted to carve out categories. Fiction, marketing, sales, design, graphic novels, adventure, wine, life skills I could pull out of the list below. But not yet.
