I recently renewed my library card after not using it for 10 years. Normally when I want to read a book I purchase it and then proudly put it on my shelf. The problem with that is I live in a small apartment and I have run out of shelf space. In fact, I ran out about 20 books or so ago. Now that I renewed my library card I’ve started to pay attention to books again. When there is a review on NPR I make note. When I hear about a book from a friend, I mark it down. Now my problem isn’t finding space for all these books on my shelves. The problem is finding the time to read all these great new books. At least that is a good problem.
These are the books on my to read list:
- When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead: Useful Stories from a Persuasive Man by Jerry Weintraub
- The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ by Philip Pullman
- The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan
- World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
- A New Religion in Mecca: Memoir of a Renegade Brewery in St. Louis by Tom Schlafly
- Sit, Ubu, Sit: How I Went from Brooklyn to Hollywood with the Same Woman, the Same Dog, and a Lot Less Hair by Gary David Goldberg
So many books, so little time.
