"When I hear the word 'culture' I reach for my checkbook." -Ed Abbey

50 books

One popular meme last year was a challenge: to read 50 books. I think I'll take up this challenge this year, or at least what's left of the year. I'll keep this as a static page and will update the books as I get to them. I will generally follow the guidelines established by David Harris, as modified by Amber at Prettier than Napoleon (who I blame for this exercise).

I will not count re-reads, but that means you, dear reader, can't laugh when you discover I've never read anything that passes for "literature." I do not have a list of books prepared, but I don't imagine I'll have any trouble adding titles. I will read from a variety of genres, but will exclude everything I read for work, since those books will have limited interest for most readers. I will also not count books I use for my monthly book club. So let's get started:

  1. Mind Over Money, by Eric Tyson. 2006.
  2. Complications, by Atul Gawande, 2002.
  3. God's Debris, by Scott Adams, 2004.
  4. Coach, by Michael Lewis, 2005.
  5. The Salmon of Doubt, by Douglas Adams, 2002.
  6. The Religion War, by Scott Adams, 2004.
  7. The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand. 1943.
  8. From Bauhaus to Our House, Tom Wolfe, 1981.
