365 Books

Reading and reviewing one book a day for one year

From October 28, 2008 to October 28, 2009, I read one book a day and wrote about each book I read here on my site. I wrote about what I felt while reading the book, what I responded to, and what I gained. I also offered some assessment of the book but my reviews are not typical reviews. Travel through my site and see what I mean.
