Review of 2009

Well, I only read 50 books last year. Doesn't that sound lame? It gives me incentive to read more this year! Anyway, below are the books that I read last year that I rated "Excellent". 20 out of 50 isn't too bad! That would be 40% of what I read! I believe that only 10 of the 20 came out in the past year and that the other 10 were "older" books.

Anyway, I am really looking forward to more reading in 2010. Please send suggestions if you have read a really good book!
