Year of Reading Dangerously

We are going to join in this challenge: http://dangerouslychallenge.blogspot.com/.


The rules are: Read 12 books you deem "dangerous." between January 1st and December 31st 2009. They may be banned or challenged books, new-to-you genres, books that seem to inhabit a permanent space on your stacks, or authors you're afraid of.

We're obviously starting a little late, but hey, that's how we do it around here.

Steve and I will come up with a list. He'll be thrilled, I can tell you that much, because I can guarantee that I will pick either (maybe both!) Faulkner or Joyce (Ulysses, anyone? I mean, seriously, has anyone actually finished it?) How much more dangerous could it get?

We could also pick Mein Kampf, and get it from the library, thus testing that old story you'd hear about if you checked it out of the library, your name went on some government list somewhere.

Oh, the possibilities are endless.
