Favorites of the month would have to have been Storm of the Century and The Kite Runner. Storm of the Century because I'm a weather freak and read about hurricanes in my spare time, and The Kite Runner because it's just about the most powerful, compelling, and well-written book I've ever read. Ordinary People didn't do much for me; just no context for it I guess. The fact that the author lied so much in A Million Little Pieces says a lot about addiction but is disappointing because you don't know what's true and what's made up.

I've been flying through books so far this year, so I'm upping the ante to 100 books for the year.

I finished Once a Runner last night and started Morrie after that. I should be done with that by Saturday, and then on to Kite Runner. So that makes...8 once I get to Kite Runner.
