I am currently reading The Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornby (thank you, Harrison!). It's a nonfiction book of stories that Hornby wrote during his time at Believer magazine. All of his articles were about the books he had read/was reading. At the beginning of each chapter/article, he gives a list of books he bought in the last month and books he read in the last month. Long story short, I'm stealing that for my end of term reading recap. Because I'm creative I am including book lengths.
