it's a nose, right? right?
This is a challenge I can get behind. Even got my history out of the way by cheating and finishing Radvinsky's Stalin biography yesterday, which is one monster out of the way.

26 books sounds like a good number, though it will probably prove monumentally egotistical as the months go by. I think my challenges (in addition to those listed) will be:

- read some other DFW collection/novel
- read one of the big Dostoevsky novels
- read some ______ Sun series by Wolfe that is NOT the Book of the New Sun quadrology, which if left to my own devices I will just end up re-reading every year or two.
- Camus' "The Plague"

Also, more African continental novels. I found a great list of those by a phD candidate in African Lit, but probably lost it since orz

1. Edvard Radzinsky - "Stalin: The First In-depth Biography Based on Explosive New Documents from Russia's Secret Archives." [Complete]
2. Francis Fukuyama - "The Origins of Political Order" [In Progress (for the third drat time)]
3. William Gibson - "Pattern Recognition" [In Progress]
