Although I may be slowing down and taking a few shortcuts on this site, at least for now there is still a daily reading suggestion. Many of these titles I have read and sometimes the monthly list is just chock-full of books I have yet to read (generally I won’t put a book on the list if I wouldn’t read it myself).
This is a compilation of the suggested reading from December 2014: I’ve read a couple and definitely have several others on my soon-to-be-read list. Anything that stands out for you? I know I’m falling behind on my Murakami so I’d better step up to this interesting author.
