Re: 2014 Yearly Goal! Post books you read here!

Have a goal of 60 so far. May take it down to 50 considering the type/length of book I want to focus on this year.

Right now i am reading:
1. Academ's Fury by Jim Butcher (second book in the codex alera series and so much better than the first so far!)- done!(really good)

2. Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth by Reza Aslan (a look at Jesus from a historical not religious perspective)-done! (not impressed in the least)

3. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (part of my "must read more classics" plan)

4. The Silver Linings Playbook- currently reading.
