"B" Is for Books

I began the year with a commitment to read more and so far I would say I am not doing too bad. I was going to read one fiction or online short story and then one non-fiction book. I am not sure how the non-fiction will progress but we will see. To this point I have read the following:

• The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien (fiction)


• Gretzky's Tears - Stephen Brunt (non-fiction)


• A War of Gifts - Orson Scott Card (fiction short story)


• The Hammer of God - Arthur C. Clarke (Lightspeed Magazine) (fiction short story)


• Steve Jobs - Walter Isaccson (non-fiction)

I am halfway through 1984 by George Orwell as my current fiction novel. I have read this one a number of times but I like to come back to it every couple of years.

I do not have a non-fiction lined up yet, though I have Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson on the shelf.

Not too bad for the beginning of April!
