2008 Books.

I had this goal that for the year 2008, well 2008 and moving forward, I'll read at the very least 10 books every year. 10 days to go before 08 ends, and I can post already that I failed. The thing is, what do you actually read after reading the Twilight series, right? ;) Anyway here are the 9 books I read for 2008.

1. Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant
2. Witch of Portabello by Paulo Coelho
3. Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner
4. Wicked by Gregory Maguire
5. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
6. New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
7. Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
8. You Don't Love Me Yet by Jonathan Lethem
9. Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

And for the supposedly 10th, I haven't finished it and I've decided to put it back to the shelf rather than leave it on my bedside table and accumulate dusts.
10. Why We Want You to be Rich by Donald Trump, Robert T. Kiyosaki

I'm actually a nerd that I enjoy reading books like Freakonomics, or A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson.

Discover's 20 Things You Didn't Know about Everything: Duct Tape, Airport Security, Your Body, Sex in Space... and More! is on my wish list! I keep on waiting to purchase it whenever Powerbooks is on sale, but it's always out of stock.

I even have the Time Almanac 2009 on my bedside table hahahaha, okay I'm such a semi geek.

I can't claim that I'm really a bookworm since most people can read more than 10 books a year, and I can't even hit 10. If I had all the time in the world, I'll probably read more :) and bake more, and watch more tv series... Oh well :)

So some comments on the books I read:
-Twilight is still the best book in the series.
-I'm tired of Paulo Coelho's same tone/feel in all of his books, it's the same book after book after book.
-Kudos to Lethem's way of writing.
-Rich Dad, Poor Dad was inspiring, the book with Donald Trump didn't move me. Well, I'm not yet done so I have to wait and see.
-I hope one day the stage Wicked here. I'm interested to try other Gregory Maguire books :)
