2007 Books Read

This was the first year I actually kept track of the books I'd read. I started pre-blog, so while there is a write up for every book, they're not all online.

It was definitely interesting to get a number on what I read. I suspect I'm capable of reading more, as I know I had several dry spells where I just wasn't able to get any nightly reading done. I also know this list is somewhat atypical of me, because I usually do more rereading. Doing a list kept me a bit honest on reading new things (and the packed and stacked nature of half my collection helped too).
