End Note (on Dec 31st): ...I didn't keep awesome track of things again this year. But even if I had done well in that area, I certianly wouldn't have made 50 books. I'm pretty ok with that, though, because a number of the books that I did read were heavy, thinky, and difficult reading. Intermixed with graphic novels. Woo.
Books that I read a very large chunk of but am very unlikely to ever actually finish:
The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup
