Best of 2006
2003 2004 2005
I loved a lot of books this year. Not as many movies, sadly. It's always slightly interesting to consider how many I read/see vs. how many I end up loving. I feel like I read too much this year, but it paid off. I feel like I should watch more movies, but then so few really grabbed me.
