Last year, on my birthday, I decided to make a list of all the books I read that year, with the plan of posting it on my next birthday. I got a late start on the starting it and the posting it, but here it is. My reviews were as much for my benefit as anyone else's, and it's obvious when I really hated/liked something versus the things I was rather meh about. It's also obvious that I've been at the mercy of a very small public library-I ordinarily don't read thrillers or romance novels much, but when the sci-fi selection consists mostly of things I donated, I made do.

I didn't have a goal when I started- I think I thought a book a week would be admirable, but at the time I was tearing through 2 or 3 a week. I ended up with 81 on the list, including books I re-read, books I couldn't make myself finish, and a few I skimmed more than read. By the end of the list, I was frustrated that I wasn't going to reach 100. Of course, if you added in all the fan fiction I read, I'd probably make it.
