January 2012, Fifty Books Challenge

One of the new year's resolutions that I made this year—scratch that—the only new year's resolution that I made in 2012 is to read fifty books. I've never made a resolution before, and "I'll go to the gym twice a week all year" or "I'll quit smoking" (not that I smoke) or "I'll try to eat healthier" are just stupid resolutions that I'd quit come January fourth, so I decided on one that is actually attainable. And fun. Read fifty books.

This January I read six of those books. Good job, Sam. Admittedly some of these books were tiny and took me maybe an hour or three to read, but I don't feel too bad for picking short ones because I also read the oldest known piece of literature in the entire world. So HA.
