reading list for 2013

2012 slipped by without a last update on my reading list for the year, and i guess that’s for the best because i couldn’t cross off a single book in the last quarter. the majority of my reading list for 2013 is what i didn’t get to in 2012, with a few new additions:
alice neel: the art of not sitting pretty – phoebe hoban
autobiography of a face – lucy grealy
blue nights – joan didion
born to run – christopher mcdougall

i still have not been successful in carving out chunks of time for reading. i’ll need to try harder! and it doesn’t help that my brother gave me the complete series of the wire for xmas…

Recently finished “State of Wonder” W-O-W!
And can I say I’m surprised that you have not read “Born to Run” yet? It can be completed in 1-2 sittings.
Enjoy! (and HAPPY 2013!!!!)
