thejunipertreeMy ongoing experiment of tracking the books I read has come to its year-end close. For the results, see the actual list of everything.
I didn't hit my goal of 100 books in one year, but I came close (was only 3 off). And, as always, this list does not include the textbooks I had to read for school. The breakdowns of my reading patterns for 2008 are as follows:
total books: 97
New books: 78
Re-reads: 19
78 new books in a year is pretty impressive, I think. Last year, it was 69. It kind of boggles my brain to think I took in that many new stories. It also boggles my brain to think of how much money I spend on books.
Trying to figure out what I bought, borrowed, and had gifted to me is more of a mental assault then I prefer to perform right now; it's been a long day. I think for 2009, I'm going to track that as I record each entry. It'll make things easier in the long run, I reckon.
