Spring Reading Thing challenge complete


I finished all but one of my original choices. I didn't love everything, but overall I'm quite happy with my choices. The recap:

1. Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us) by Tom Vanderbilt -- did not finish. A little dull, but it could have been me. I might give it another try.

2. The Problem of Pain by C. S. Lewis -- completed 4/27/09; review here

3. The Time Machine by H. G. Wells -- completed 4/21/09; review here

4. The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupèry -- completed 4/18/09; review here

5. The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman -- completed 4/24/09; review here

6. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie -- completed 4/18/09; review here

7. Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar...: Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes by Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein -- completed 5/1/09; review here
