Books Read in 2008

[rolanni]

...a necessarily incomplete, and depressingly short, list. I was so busy at the three jobs this year that I couldn't focus on something as long as a novel. I read a lot of New Yorker articles. Man, the New Yorker rocks.

Anyhow...reproduced from memory, poor tool that it is.

Five-Finger Discount, Helene Stapinski
Suds in Your Eye, High Time, Wait for the Wagon, Mary Lasswell (the first three novels detailing the adventures of Mrs. Feeley, Mrs. Rasmussen, and Miss Tinkham, as discussed in this post.  If anybody'd like to (re-)read these, let me know, I can pass them on for the cost of the postage.)
