Now That's A Reading List

I've been thinking I need to post my latest reading list, but courtesy of the NYTimes comes a story of a woman who has been reading a new book every day and posting brief reviews. She's on day 350. I'm feeling inadequate.
“This is not someone trying to run an ultra-marathon,” said her husband, Jack Menz, a lawyer, whose first thought about her plan was, “How about a book a week?” He added, “It’s someone getting to do what she really enjoys.”

Ms. Sankovitch, a former environmental lawyer with piercing blue eyes who wears a locket containing an image of a man on a toilet reading a book, follows some rules. All the books are ones she has not read. She reads only one book per author. She reads one day and posts the review the next morning.
I like the husband. My latest reading list is coming once I'm past this ugly work week. In the meantime, you might find something of interest on Nina Sankovitch's blog.

I spent just long enough on her blog to realize I probably wouldn't like the books she likes. I'm holding out for your reading list, Steven.
