Reading list Early '09

[CharlieJ]

So, here's a breakdown of what I've read since about the beginning of this year. I either read the whole book or at least a significant part of it. The ones I found most engaging, enlightening, etc. I have marked with an asterisk. I would highly recommend them for people interested in the subject matter. I hope this thread will generate some good conversation on reading material. Share your thoughts on the books.

Well, I am a student who has the privilege of a very flexible part-time job, so I certainly have more "time on my hands" than the average PBer. I'm hoping to stimulate conversation about books and the discipline of reading.
