I had aspirations of writing a review of each one, but that felt so much like the dreaded "book report" that I now only review the exceptional ones -- either exceptionally good or exceptionally bad.

My lists are online at http://www.elsi123.net/~elsi/reading/

I average something around 130 books each year.

Damn! At my current pace, I average about 6.7 books a month. My 2009 goal is 100 books (and that'll be a stretch).

Hmm, going from your posts, I would have guessed more, though admittedly you say "average", Elsi, and this year might be a good year.

I have hardly read a thing (MR and the interwebs aside) for months. I see a New Year Resolution in the offing though, which might help with the TBR.

Cheers,
