I have decided once again to try to read 100 books during the year. This means reading an average of eight and a half books each month. I managed to read fifty seven new books last year. Between the fertility treatment and relocating, books took a backseat in my life. I am not sure what [...]

The “Bookinist” by Nils Holger Moormann
January 28th, 2008 · No Comments · Art, Books
