So there's last year's list. Twenty books. Some people read more than that in a month!

Some I read because of school - as I reteach books. I only count the first reading (or the first in a long time), so, for example, I'm reading Romeo and Juliet and The Things They Carried again along with my students, but I won't count them in my 2015 list. And I didn't count The Great Gatsby or Antigone for last year as they were recent rereads. Some of the books I read only because they are on my students' reading lists.

But some I read for just for myself. I'm disappointed to see how few religious titles there are. Hmm.

Favorites: O'Brien, Zasuk, Nomura, Coel, and Griffin.   

Pax et bonum
