The Month in Books - February 2009

At the start of 2009, I set a goal to read 30,000 pages by year's end. I am measuring progress in pages, rather than titles, to avoid last year's bias toward shorter books. Here's what I read in February:

1. The Pilgrim's Progress - John Bunyan (review)
2. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter - Carson McCullers (review)
3. A Thousand Acres - Jane Smiley (review)
4. Breathing Lessons - Anne Tyler (review)
5. Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides (review)
6. Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood (review)
7. Truman - David McCullough (review)
8. Eisenhower - Carlo D'Este (review)

Pages Read: 4,042
Year-to-Date: 8,014

P.S. Today marks six years since I started this blog.
