Books Read in 2010
Its much harder to get in the habit of typing 2010 than it is hand writing 2010. I just keep wanting to hit the 0 twice!!!
Anyway, every year (since 2006) I try to read as many books as possible--the unattainable goal is usually 50, and the closest I've gotten is around 27 or 28. Sometimes my record keeping is shabby, and I never know whether to count manga or school books, etc. Anyway. So those are just approximations. That said, I'm reading at a fairly good pace this year (probably won't come close to reaching 50 unless I start reading a lot of really easy books--Nicholas Sparks, etc. Which ain't really my thing... ) But I wanted to list them all in order somewhere so I might as well do it here.
