So, I’ve wondered why did I ever set myself the gargantuan task of reading 28 books before I turn 28. At this rate, its 4 books a month, 1 book a week. *gulp*

Also, I’m feeling the guilt from all the piles of books I’ve ill-treated. It would seem that I bought them just for the momentary therapeutic retail effect and not for the mental nourishment that comes along with reading its contents. Besides, there’s also no denying the fact that the sooner I read them, the earlier I get to spree again. Shopping FTW!

So without further ado, here’s the list for now. Its not 28, but hey~ one needs to buffer for shopping too!
