Today is the start of Week 18 in the quest to read 52 books in 52 weeks and should have you starting book # 19. Which means we are over 1/3 of the way towards reading 52 books for the year. If you need suggestions about what to read, head on over to the Well Trained Mind forums and see what everyone is reading this week.
