I’m super excited about the third challenge I’m joining this year because one of my resolutions for next year is to read more essays. So when I saw that Carrie at Books and Movies was hosting the Essay Reading Challenge, I knew I had to join in. The challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2009, and Carrie asks that we pick whether we want to read 10, 20 or 30 essays. I figure I’ll read at least 30!The books I want to read are:
- For Keeps: Women Tell the Truth about their Bodies, Growing Older, and Acceptance edited by Victoria Zackheim (27 essays)
- Her Fork in the Road: Women Celebrate Food and Travel edited by Lisa Bach (33 essays)
- The Merry Recluse: A Life in Essays by Caroline Knapp (63 essays)
- Pathologies: A Life in Essays by Susan Olding (15 essays)
- Small Wonder: Essays by Barbara Kingsolver (23 essays)
- Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters by Annie Dillard (14 essays)
