Year-end Book Roundup

[brigdh]

I actually managed to keep track of what books I read this year! Granted, I didn't start until July, which throws off the count a bit, but it's still better than I've ever done before. This count only includes books that I actually read cover to cover, and not articles or edited chapters or so on, which means the vast majority of the reading I did for school is not included. Mainly because I had no interest in keeping track of that many titles and authors.

Feel free to ask me for thoughts on any of these, if you'd like; I know I'm terrible at blogging my reactions to books.
