this is what i'm learning.

Steven’s extensive 2009 Reading List inspired me to read all the books I own that I haven’t read yet. Unfortunately, I only read a handful them. However, I did read more books this past year than I have in probably a decade. And I haven’t had so much fun reading since the Goosebumps series and The Boxcar Children. A couple of these books I read entirely at Borders and/or Barnes & Noble, and one of them I read entirely on the Kindle App on my iPhone. I also discovered a renewed love for the public library. Apparently borrowing books with a deadline is a great motivator to finish them in a reasonable amount of time. Perhaps it’s not an impressive list, but it is a fun list. Without further ado:
