2009 - 100+ Reading Challenge

Happy New Year!

I'll post my resolutions tomorrow, but I want to get started with my first project right away. In 2009, I challenge myself to read 100 books. Casebooks, study guides, and E&Es will not be counted. Assigned course reading can be counted if I read the entire book (usually, I am only assigned excerpts). I am making this commitment as a part of my ongoing struggle to hold on to the pre-grad school passions that made "me" while muddling through the JD/MBA curriculum. As I start each book, I will update this post by adding the new book to my list. When I finish each book, I will attempt to write a brief response to the book or at least post a link to indicate that this list has been updated.

Please feel free to suggest your favorite books in the comments (I will need suggestions) or join the challenge yourself.
