I'm tagging this as my 2010 To-Read list, but that's not actually what it is. It's actually those titles from my 2009 list that I didn't read, and that I would eventually like to, and may in fact do so in 2010. So the "I Might Read These in 2010" list would probably be a more accurate title. :))...

It's an important thing. To be able to determine what we can and can not do. What fits and what doesn't. Who you are and...

I stole this from tom. The Proust Questionnaire has its origins in a parlor game popularized (though not devised) by Marcel Proust, the French essayist and novelist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an individual reveals his or her true nature.

You may have noticed that I'm something of a sucker for reading challenges. And I'm signing on for yet another. Fortunately for me, this one does not actually require me to read 1,001 books. The challenge for 2009 is to read 10 books from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die list. I'll begin...
