2009: What I Read

I've been doing the 50 Book Challenge over on Livejournal since 2007. The challenge is pretty basic: read 50 books or more within a 12 month period. I actually managed to read more than 50 books this year, which should come as no surprise to the employees of my local Borders (who know me by name).
