The Month in Books - September 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 September:

  1. The Vintage Guide to Classical Music - Jan Swafford (review)
  2. Empire Express - David Haward Bain (review)
  3. The Gold Bug Variations - Richard Powers (review)
  4. Native Son - Richard Wright (review)

Pages Read: 2,230
Year-to-Date: 28,440
