Books 2006
Here is my 2006 booklist. Last year I managed to read 25 books (I got sidetracked by some major research projects and was reading papers instead of books for a while). This year I hope to read at least that many, with an ideal goal of 50 books. I had a few books I started last year which I havn’t completed yet, so I switched them to this list. Also, I grouped collections of short stories and comics/manga together since they aren’t really books (but in some ways they are).
This is a variation of the 50/50 book challenge which is a challenge to read 50 old books and 50 new books in one year..
