This year was a good one in regard to the varieties of books I read, but I certainly didn't read enough. The "A Song of Ice and Fire" series certainly takes most of the blame since I refused to whip through those quickly. In any case, I am glad I managed to get this many in and I'm looking forward to beating this record next year. (It's a good thing I'll be done with graduate school in May.)
