52 weeks, 52 books

Too little time, too much to read. My aim this year, as it is every year, is to read 100 books. It doesn't matter if the book is fiction or nonfiction, thick or thin, dead-tree (i.e. physical paper) or ebook -- I try to make time to read anything I can get my hands on. 2006 wasn't such as good year for me. I only managed to finish 53 books, which averages out to one a week. Here's my reading list for 2006. The dates are the day that I finished reading that particular book.
