And here is my list from last year: 2011 Book-Learning

I'm on Goodreads, keeping track of all of these books and more. You can follow me there as well, if you are so inclined. I have technically accomplished my goal of 52 books this year, but that doesn't mean I have to stop now! How many do you think I'll have read by the end of the year?
