Books I Managed to Read in 2008
My total number of books read this year was really rather pathetic. But since I want to keep track of everything I've read, I'm going to go ahead and post it. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to get as close to 50 books read in 2009 as possible, which works out to roughly one a week. Not sure if it's actually manageable, but we'll see!

Favorite books were probably the His Dark Materials books, although Nikki Sixx's autobiography was definitely eye-opening!
