This Christmas, my family decided to make me very literate. They gave me the following books, which I plan to read over the course of the next few months:

• Discourse on Method by René Descartes
• Ethics by Benedict de Spinoza
• A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume
• Critique of Judgement by Immanuel Kant
• The Poincaré Conjecture: In Search of the Shape of the Universe by Donal O’Shea
• How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci by Michael J. Gelb
• The Portable Cervantes by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
• Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott
• The Power of Mindful Learning by Ellen J. Langer
• The Google Story by David A. Vise
• The Power of Babel by John McWhorter

I can’t wait to get started! I’ll be blogging about my interesting reading experiences as they happen.
