cutting great neck

Every day for the next week, I will write up a list of things I did in the past year until the final day, in which I will post my New Year's Resolution.

I've been meaning to do this for days--I forgot some books I read this year, but still--this is a list of books I read in 2007 (well, you know, not BOOKS--novels! I mean, I read SO many Dr. Seuss books this year it's NOT even funny):

Angela's Ashes
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
To Kill A Mockingbird
The Virgin Suicides
My Sister's Keeper
Jaws
Go Ask Alice
Breakfast at Tiffany's
White Oleander
Memoirs of a Geisha
A Thousand Splendid Suns
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
The Silence of the Lambs
Catcher in the Rye
A Clockwork Orange
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
The Hours
The Odyssey
How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
Antigone
Lolita

(I kinda forgot some books, because I clearly remember reading five books in July, and here there are only four from July.)

Since there are twenty-three books here, I will make a list of books I want to read by New Year's 2009:

Black Boy
Great Expectations
Lord of the Flies
Slaughterhouse Five
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
The Shadow of the Wind
Pride and Prejudice
Catch-22
The Alienist
Middlesex
The Godfather
The Blind Assassin
Beloved
The Moviegoer
Things Fall Apart
The Road
The Book Thief
The Shining
The Pillars of the Earth
Saving Private Ryan
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Life of Pi
Night

A bit ambitious, but I'll manage.
