2008 Books read (as of August)

It might be better to start keeping my lists of books read online. I've traditionally kept my list in a notebook, which works perfectly fine, but thought it might be interesting to share what I've read with others.
The list is chronological, starting with most recent first:

  1. Isaac's Storm: a man, a time, and the deadliest hurricane in history, Erik Larson
  2. When You are Engulfed in Flames, David Sedaris
  3. Survival of the Sickest: the surprising connections between disease and longevity, Dr. Sharon Moalem with Jonathan Prince
  4. The Mistress's Daughter: a memoir, A.M. Homes
  5. The Size of the World, Joan Sibber
  6. The Robber Bride, Margaret Atwood
  7. In Sunlight, in a Beautiful Garden, Kathleen Cambor
  8. In a Country of Mothers, A.M. Homes
  9. Jack, A.M. Homes
  10. Harley, like a person, Cat Bauer (YA novel)
  11. Homeless Bird, Gloria Whelan (YA novel)
  12. Godless, Pete Hautman (YA novel)
  13. One Good Turn, Kate Atkinson
  14. Jessica Farm, vol. I, Josh Simmons (graphic novel)
  15. Y: The Last Man, vol. II: Cycles, Brian Vaughan (graphic novel)
  16. Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade, Diana Gabaldon
  17. Daddy's Girl, Debbie Drechsler (graphic novel)
  18. The Amber Spyglass, Phillip Pullman
  19. Fables: Legends in Exile (vol. I), Bill Willingham
  20. Y: The Last Man, vol. I: Unmanned, Brian Vaughan
  21. The Subtle Knife, Phillip Pullman
  22. Plum Wine, Angela Davis-Gardner
  23. The Golden Compass, Phillip Pullman
  24. This Book Will Save Your Life, A.M. Homes
Since I've joined the 50 Book Challenge on LibraryThing, I'm falling a little behind, since I should be at around 30-35 books read if I want to make the 50 books by December 31st. Reading 5-10 graphic novels or YA novels should meet that goal!
