1. Read a book whose author's surname starts with V.
2. Read a non-fiction book.

4. Read a book with a cool title.
5. Read a book about football.
6. Read a book that you received as a gift.

So I am going to try to be on here more. So far this year I have finished Roseanne Cash's Composed. It was a memoir of her life and she writes prose as well as she writes songs. I enjoyed reading her work and life story. For a non-fiction book I am reading Black Boy by Richard Wright. For a cool title, I am reading Withering Tights, which is funny.

Since I lasted posted I finished "The Courtship of Princess Leia" which is my favorite Star Wars book of all time. Still love it. I also finished "The Quest of the Simple Life" by William J. Dawson. It compared city life to the ability to live in the country. It was an interesting premise but a little dry at times.
