Essay Reading Challenge: On Your Marks…

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

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!
