| It's been a busy year so I haven't read that much. The one advantage of getting married is that you get a whole library of new books to read. (You also get to sell all your doubles on half.com) But as you can see, Jerry seems to have a very focused collection of fiction. Actually his collection of non-fiction is very focused too, but I figured I would go through the fiction first since it takes less energy.

| Annual reading list: I didn't read as much this year as I had planned since I got distracted over the holidays and didn't read as much as I would have wanted. But I have about 8 books checked out of the library so maybe I will get them read soon (if I didn't have a few papers to write hanging over my head).
It appears that most of the books I did not read for school and which are not "Christian" books are geared to a 2nd-6th grade reading level. Oh well. They are faster to read. There's something to be said for books that take less than 2 hours to be read.

| Inspired by the lists that Susan puts out every year (this year her's is on Facebook) I decided to list the books I finished last year.
