Books
I decided to figure out how many books I read in a year, so I kept a
list from June 15, 2002 through June 14, 2003. The total: 118, not counting
short books (fewer than 250 pages) or magazines.
Here's the best of the bunch:

- Desireable Daughters, Bharati Mukherjee
- The Poisonwood Bible, Barbara Kingsolver
