I have finally archived my Books Read List for 2008 and started a new one for 2009. Whew, that took a bit of html fiddling. Here it is – just to flash before your eyes before it gets stored. (It can still be accessed through my Read Page or through the sidebar.)<\/p>\n

This would be a great time (and place) to recommend a book for me to read (even if you have already). Read something good lately?<\/p>\n

My (incomplete,\u00c2\u00a0 sorry) book list for 2008: I also filled in the gaps with the New Yorker<\/em>, Artforum<\/em>, Mothering<\/em>, Martha Stewart Living<\/em> , Dwell<\/em>, KoreAm<\/em>, and Vogue<\/em> – as far as print goes. Damn, I got a lot of magazines… To view my cyber reading habits, look under my Links page<\/a>. You can see my Books Read 2007 list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
