Books 2010
It's this time of the year, isn't it? Have my reading list for 2010. It's quite long for my standards (54 books fiction), so I guess I'm satisfied! I don't count Latin texts for the 'main' list, they're included at the bottom. And yes, I read non-fiction for university, but that's rarely the whole book, so this stuff isn't included.

Latin
With poems and difficult passages in general, I cross-check with the translation, but I mostly read them in Latin.
- Oratio Pro A. Licinio Archia Poeta [M. Tullius Cicero, 3/5]
- De Bello Gallico [C. Iulius Caesar, 3/5]
- Carmina [C. Valerius Catullus, partly reread, 6/5]
- Pro M. Caelio Oratio [M. Tullius Cicero, 4/5]
- De Imperio Cn. Pompei Oratio: Pro Lege Manilia [M. Tullius Cicero, 5/5]
- Georgica [P. Vergilius Maro, 3/5]
Plans for 2011? More classic poems, more German in general, more assorted other languages, more Russians (in translation, alas) and some science fiction classics :) Guess I'll aim for 50 overall. The year will be stressful, but it seems doable.
