So, in an attempt to revitalize my blog, I'm doing a reading challenge. WOOT! I love to read and have joined various book clubs.
My challenge is to read 29 books in 2009. I will *obviously* read more than that, but I must read the 29 books I've chosen before the year is through.
This challenge is "borrowed" from Crystal's 28 Books in 2008 challenge: http://u.silencios.org/index.php/content/28-books-in-2008)
After I read each book (in no particular order), I'll post a review. I'll include a link to Chapters and Amazon for those interested in reading it as well.

Night by Elie Wiesel is fantastic. I would also recommend Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi, which has also been published as "If This is a Man" in European countries. I am not sure which title would be used in Canada.
