Last year I had a goal to read fifty books, and I actually succeeded! At the beginning of the year, I made a list of books that I wanted to read. If you are interested, here is the original List, and the list below is what I actually read.
I read many good books in 2010, but the top six, (in order of reading),that stuck with me the most were:
1. A Virtuous Woman
2. The Book Thief
3. The Sky Is Everywhere
4. Interpreter of Maladies
5. Let the great World Spin
6. The Help
