JHENIFER PABILLANO

This is a repost of a list I made in 2004.

I can read pretty fast, and lately I’ve been reading a lot. I thought it might be interesting to track what I’ve been reading all year. I’ll limit this to books only. Books for classes count: scholarly journal articles, excerpts and magazines will not.
