Books read in February 2010

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Here are the books I read in February 2010. The goal of a book a week is still in place and well under control. This is the first time I’ve set a yearly goal, and it seemed like a very good one to start with. Here’s the list:

- The Road, by Cormac McCarthy
- What Matters Now
- How Proust Can Change Your Life, by Alain de Botton
- Dom Casmurro, by Machado de Assis
- The Schopenhauer Cure, by Irvin D. Yalom
- The Art Of Innovation, by Tom Kelley
