This time last year I decided to keep track of everything I read in 2010. I'm not 100% confident that this is comprehensive, but it's close enough for government work. And yes, it's been gratifying to maintain a record of what I've read over the last twelve months.

* I didn't actually finish Tom Jones, but decided that it should stay on the list because I made it through 700+ pages. Dunno why it was such a struggle--I enjoyed aspects of the book quite a bit, but cried uncle when I realized that it had taken me several weeks to get through the last two hundred pages or so. 


** These are re-reads, sometimes for a specific purpose, sometimes out of desperation.
