Inspired by my soulmate blogger I decided it is high time I made a list of the books I've read so far this year. Anyway, I guess the more I read the harder to keep track of them. I started to list them with a facebook app but I have the feeling that I've missed some of them (in addition to the Pony Club volume given by my little sis for my nameday, which I don't think is worth mentioning). In some cases I wasn't sure if I read it this year or at the end of last year, so I left them out too, for example Skipping Christmas by John Grisham.
So far I'm doing fine with my one book per week quest. This is the 37th week, and I've read 39 (based on the below list). Okay, there were some short collections of poems but there were 700-page-long ones as well, such as Tom Jones or the Stieg Larsson novels.
I haven't written about all of them for various reasons. Either I didn't like the book or didn't know what to say about it. Or was too lazy and forgot about it altogether.
And as the sky is not so promising today I might go back to reading Régimódi történet, which is one of Szabó's most popular books as I've just found out on the Internet.
