Books I Read in 2010

I keep a reading log in a composition notebook. I read so much, the log helps me keep track of what I've read and when I read it. After reading several posts about people's reading in the last year, I decided to type up my reading list from 2010 and post it. I was surprised by two things: 1)the total number of books I read, and 2) how few "grown-up" books I've read.

So my goals for this year-
1. Keep reading, maybe break 200.
2. Read more "grown-up" books- not just professional books, but also ones for fun

Here is my list from 2010, the "grown-up" books are marked with an *
