I have been so interested to read Kiersten's end-of-year book blogs, that last year I decided to keep track of what I read all year. It's the first time I've done that, and the results surprised me a bit...I tend to read a lot of one author at a time, and I'm less consistent in reading the same number of books each month than I would have guessed. I am also really astounded at how many more books Kiersten reads than me. Work and kids instead, I suppose. Without further ado:

35 books total, so just about 3 per month. There are a few anomalies. Obviously my February reading was not for pleasure, but all bar prep for the Nevada bar exam. Yuck. The no books in August was due to the BYU football independence rumors...I spent virtually all free time trying to keep up with that. We did a fair amount of traveling in November, and I was quite busy at work during the last two months of the year.
A lot of Weiss and Hickman at the beginning. That was a nostalgia reading of all their dragonlance books which I loved as a kid. I read all of them beginning to end, starting in mid 2009.
Anyway, probably not many people still reading, but there you have it. I have really enjoyed keeping track and reviewing the list; I think it will help direct me in terms of reading lists in the future.

I loved reading your list! I try to keep track of my reading on goodreads.com but i'm not always as consistent..I think I'll try to keep track for 2011....
I wonder if I can remember how many books I've read this month...
In the future I plan to write the list in my journal. I imagine posterity may have some mild interest in what I was doing.
Pulling out the Shakespeare, huh? I like it! I haven't read any for a long time. I love that BYU football completely derailed your reading; that's awesome.
