maybe I’m amazed
I actually completed a New Year’s resolution! Over the past year I read 52 books and dang, I don’t think I’ll be up for that this year.
My favorites were (in no particular order):
- I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen
- Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino
- Tales from Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan
- Persepolis’ by Marjane Satrapi
- Four Fish… by Paul Greenberg
- Astro City vol. 4: The Tarnished Angel by Kurt Busiek
- The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
- The Yiddish Policemen’s Union by Michael Chabon
This year my goal is a measly 26 but that’s because I have other goals:
- learn to cook a ripping good lentil stew
- perfect the tofu pressing and marinating process
- save all the money
- so I can make my apartment look and feel like a place to be
- train my dog to do turn on a lamp with her nose
- and fetch me some lentil stew and the remote
- so I never have to leave the couch again in 2012
Good plan? Good plan.
