The Official Seal of the Well-Read Man

Tim Patrick is at it again. Reading, that is. He enjoys books, but now he’s about to get professional. Starting today, May 1, 2011, Tim embarks on The Well-Read Man Project. His goal: to read fifty of the most important books of all time within the span of a year. Fortunately, he’s not going to sit in a quiet corner giggling to himself with a book in hand. He’s going to blog about the experience.

During the first two months of the project, Tim will select the fifty books to read. Then, starting on July 1, the real fun begins, if you consider something as thick as War and Peace to be fun. Hopefully, when June 30, 2012 rolls around, Tim will be fifty books wiser.

To follow along, visit the new project web site, www.wellreadman.com. On that site, you’ll find the latest news about the project, places for you to add your own comments, and information on how you can join in the reading yourself.
