Reading List: New Year's Resolution

Being a PhD student means mainly that my reading list is a Danaus pithos, there is no end! Beginning this new year with a fresh start, along with being healthy and spending less time in front of the TV, my biggest resolution is to READ MORE and to write reviews on this blog.
