2011 Books I've Read

Does anybody really care what I'm reading? Probably not, but I think this list is more for my personal benefit anyway. It's neat for me to look back on the year and see what the best (and worst!) books were.

Does this have anything to do with photography? No. But that's okay! Sometimes I have to remind myself that a blog should be for personal pursuits as well as professional ones.

And so begins my 2011 list...
