Another good month of reading with a nice blend of contemporary poetics, instructional text, some classics, some graphic novels and at least one children’s book for kicks and whistles. In the new year, I’ma try to read at least one novel a month (fiction, non-fiction, young adult, sci-fi) to mix it up a little bit.
