The Month in Books - March 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 March:

1. Battle Cry of Freedom - James McPherson (review)
2. Team of Rivals - Doris Kearns Goodwin (review)
3. Andrew Carnegie - David Nasaw (review)
4. The Weather Makers - Tim Flannery (review)
5. Lonesome Dove - Larry McMurtry (review)
6. Purple Hibiscus - Chimamanda Adichie (review)
7. All the Names - Jose Saramago (review)

Pages Read: 4,126
Year-to-Date: 12,140
