Author Comments: 

My goal for 2006 was to read 100 books in a year. I missed it by 9 books, so I'm happy I made it (just under the wire) in 2007!

Looks like you've got a good combination of fun, light reading and more serious reading, though. :) I think there's nothing to be ashamed of here (read some of the shorter classics if you want to up your numbers, though! Then you can be comforted with reading something worthwhile - even if it is short!).

Thanks! I try to mix it up. If I read too many serious books in a row I need to throw in some light-hearted stuff.
