Books I read in 2011

Every year for the past three years I’ve set the goal of reading 52 books (an average of one per week).  So far I have never achieved that goal.  Am I disappointed?  Absolutely not!  If I didn’t set such an audacious goal, I wouldn’t read nearly as many books.

Below is the list of books I read in 2011, in the rough order I read them.  The last two on the list, marked with an (*) are ones I started in 2011, but finished in the first couple weeks of 2012.

My goal in 2012?  Read 52 books!  I’d like to add a little variety by reading more biographies and novels.
