The Month in Books - August 2010

At the start of 2010, I set a goal to read 15,000 pages by year's end, including twelve books of greater than 650 pages. I am measuring progress in pages, rather than titles, to avoid any bias toward shorter books. Here's what I read in August:

  1. Oscar and Lucinda - Peter Carey
  2. Mystic River - Dennis Lehane
  3. Shutter Island - Dennis Lehane
  4. A Drink Before the War - Dennis Lehane
  5. Ghostwritten - David Mitchell

Pages Read: 1,952
