Wow, it has already been an entire year since i started my Master’s program, and yet it seems like i’ve learned relatively little, yet i’ve learned many things. To keep with this trend, i am attempting to have read 100 books for this calendar year (January through December). i like to add the books that i’m reading to the “Now Reading” list on the left side of the page. Somewhere in that list is a link to my “library” which has all the books that i’ve read since i began keeping track (which was in January). As of today, there are a total of 88 books in there, which means i need 12 more for my target of 100. If you know of a good book (especially if it deals with theology/philosophy), tell me about it so that i can add it to my list. i don’t count reference books (so Wrox’s Web Standards is out, even though i have been using it here and there).
Also, if you notice, i’ve added a few more books today for my classes. Because of that, i have a new list for this quarter:
