64/64 Goal Complete!

Cover of Cover of The Sparrow64/64: The Sparrow by Russell, 1/5 Stars
Entertained Me: Low / Made Me Think: Low

Just couldn't get into this book... took me a couple of weeks to read it, which is not a rate that would have allowed me to reach this goal. So, I suppose I ended on a whimper--damn, a 3-in-a-row whimper. However, I have a couple of enjoyable books on my Kindle that I'm reading in the gym, so you just might see another entry or two on this year's list.




63/64: Fast Food Nation by Schlosser, 1/5 Stars
Entertained Me: Low / Made Me Think: Low

I read this book purely to attend a book discussion group at the local university. It had some interesting points, but it was written a decade ago which made much of the employment context historical (especially given today's economy).
