Essay Reading Challenge: On Your Marks…

Thanks to Carrie at Books and Movies, essayists can be sure of an audience in 2009! She has challenged books bloggers to commit to reading a number of essays this year, and to keep track of what they’ve read. 

How can I resist a challenge like this? I’ll be reading the essays anyway, so why not keep track of them? 

Books I intend to read include: 

Best American Essays, 2008

The Next American Essay (I have started this one but haven’t finished yet). 

I’ll add to this list as I continue. 

Thanks for this great idea, Carrie!

    I just realized that you’re doing this challenge too! I just posted my review of your book as part of this challenge.
