How many books have you read in 2009?

Someone on another board I was on wanted to have a 50-book challenge for 2010. I was curious if I read that many this year, so I did a quick scan through my Delicious bookmarks, and my total for 2009 (so far, there are a few days yet) is...

81 books!

Granted, some of them were YA books (there was a 9-book series I read) but for the most part, these were full novels. I am a bit of a speed reader (I have always read fast) and have found that if it's 400 pages or less on the reader, I can read it in a day easily, and if it's in the 700 range, I can read it in two days. I can generally get through 50 pages on a half-hour bus ride. Of those 2009 books...

11 were tagged 'favourite'
28 were tagged 'great'
19 were tagged 'good'
16 were tagged 'fair'
7 were tagged 'poor'

So, how many books did you read?
