Books I Read in 2010!

2010 was another great year of reading for me. I started keeping track of the number of books I read per year back in 2006. In 2007 I began setting a goal for myself of 50 books per year. I read exactly 50 books the first two years I did this and then last year I made it all the way up to 70 books. In 2010 I read 71 books, so I'm still improving! Here is my list.

I've set myself a goal of 50 more books in 2011. I don't expect to have nearly as much time for reading now that I'm working at a new job. I'm also going to continue trying to read the books already on my shelves and get through some more classics.

What about you guys? How did you do in 2010 and what book related goals have you set for yourself in the new year?
