I’ve completed updating my 2012 List-o-Books. An enumeration of all fifty-five books I read last year. As per my usual practice, the list is a hodge-podge of books with no particular theme, a preponderance of non-fiction, and a few by some of my favorite authors. The list includes one classic, 1984.

The Choice of Parenting | Rash Elvis Chants
https://cvanhasselt.wordpress.com/2014/05/26/the-choice-of-parenting
100% organic, pesticide free web content by Chris van Hasselt. The Choice of Parenting. May 26, 2014 by Chris van Hasselt. Late last week, the three-year old niece of a longtime friend died, after being in a coma for several days. From all accounts the circumstantial cause of her death involved some very poor choices made by a parent. As it happened, the day she died was also the birthday of a young woman who is the birth-mother of my daughter, a woman who made the brave choice to not be a parent. Tony v...

100% organic, pesticide free web content by Chris van Hasselt. Here are the books I read in 2009. I’ve chosen to include one graphic novel, which purists I guess wouldn’t count as a book.

A Devil to Play: One Man’s Year-Long Quest to Master the Orchestra’s Most Difficult Instrument. By Rebecca Blood (Editor). Jesus, Interrupted: Revealin...

100% organic, pesticide free web content by Chris van Hasselt. In 2008, I started keeping track of all the books I read. I did this mostly for my own sense of satisfaction. Also, I found just keeping the title around in a list helped me remember something about the book. And isn’t that the point of reading? Reading is a passion for some, a hobby for others, but it is never a competitive sport. I hope my book lists inspire you to pick up a book and read. I Was Just Thinking…. A Bookaholic’s Review.

100% organic, pesticide free web content by Chris van Hasselt. As 2009 came to a screeching halt, I was in high-gear with my reading list, trying to out-strip my 2008 score of forty books in a year.

Thomas Jefferson image, courtesy of the New York Public Library Digital Image collection. link. This post is long overdue. I am currently reading about Teddy Roosevelt, almost a century beyond Thomas Jefferson in my quest to read about each U.S. President. I had hoped to write about each President, but at this rate, I may be dead before I get to Obama! And even swimming pools.

List-o-Books: 2008 | Rash Elvis Chants
https://cvanhasselt.wordpress.com/books/list-o-books-2008
100% organic, pesticide free web content by Chris van Hasselt. My official list of books I read in 2008! As I have time, I will be making this list prettier. And linking to my reviews of the books. I finally got around to making the list a little prettier. Not exactly exciting, but better looking, I think. In May 2010, I updated this list using Microsoft’s Windows Live Writer’s handy Amazon Book Linker. Live Writer is one of the few Microsoft tools I can give a solid thumbs up to. By Stephen R. Covey.
