 READING LIST 

Deirdre's Reading List  (or, What I've Been Doing Lately)

I started to keep a list of the books I read in August of 2001. That month, being isolated from television, I completed nine books. Certainly not a record, but a lot for me. After a while data takes on a life of its own and just the fact that I had the list influenced what I read. I started to read more of the "classics" and found they're great books. I hope you find something on this list that interests you.  For my thoughts on certain books click the "review" link.
