Books Read 2011

Sorry I've been posting even less than usual. I only have internet access at work these days! This list is everything I read in the year 2011, not including most short stories, graphic novels, or manga. I only included novels, collections, and anthologies I actually completed. It comes to 41 books, if I can be trusted to count. I didn't have any particular goal last year, but I think I'm going to up the ante just a bit for 2012 and aim to read 50 books. I've already read three or four so far, so I'm pretty sure it's possible even with my schedule.
