I read it in high school and it had this shattering impact on me, of making me realize there is really no "good vs. bad" in war, and certainly not in WWI.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129191231518210995.post-44993318118251906162010-01-02T15:25:18.803-05:002010-01-02T15:25:18.803-05:00You had a great year in books.

She does love classics, but she also loves Twilight...that seeming combination was irresistible to her. :)<br /><br />Kara,<br />I'd be willing to bet, my dear, that if you counted "words read" you'd probably have a higher count. Over a third of my reads were graphic novels, after all. Besides, quality is the only thing that really matters anyway, right? <br /><br />Chris,<br />I have to admit that I am pretty happy with my 2009 reading. I mean, the numbers don't mean shit. But I read sooooo many books that I truly loved...how can one argue with that, right? And I know I told you before, but I still love it that we had the same favorite book for the year. :D<br /><br />Jean,<br />Oh, I highly doubt you had much wasted time at all!!! And thankfully, I don't think I did either. Read some awesome books, spent time with some awesome people, saw some awesome new places, made some awesome creations, cooked some awesome foods... Yeah, I'm going to call 2009 a pretty damn fine year in my book, too. Here's hoping 2010 brings us at least as much fulfillment as 2009 did!<br /><br />Pat,<br />And may this year bring you much joy! You're due, lady!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129191231518210995.post-61087343784032141182010-01-01T05:56:34.658-05:002010-01-01T05:56:34.658-05:00well it sounds like you had a good reading year to...well it sounds like you had a good reading year to me! <br /><br />that IS a cute pic of Annie!<br /><br />Happy New Year Debi!!

I don't want to know just how low the number might be. I do know that I worked out an amazing number of times, created a worthy number of worthwhile things, and probably didn't waste as much time as I feel I did. It was a good year, as I hope the coming year will be.
