A year of books
December 28, 2012 2 Comments
For a number of years I have been keeping a record of the books I have either read or listened to. If nothing else it demonstrates my ability to forget pretty much all that I have learned.
Anyway, in an attempt to take an original look back over the last twelve months I present my reading and listening material for 2012.
