I’m not altogether sure why my totals for 2006 were so different from 2005 and 2004. In 2004, I read 119 books; in 2005, I read 118; in 2006, I read 99. Eliminating books I had read before, I read 75 in 2004, 85 in 2005, and 59 in 2006.\n
Again, I read more specfic than anything else, 18 new and 16 re-reads. I read nine nongenre fiction novels (plus rereading another nine), which is up a bit. I only read five new mystery novels, which is substantially down. I’m not sure why. I have changed libraries for the third year in a row, so that may have something to do with it. That definitely had something to do with my only reading one graphic novel in the year. I’m still reading a lot of YA stuff, twelve books, only eight of which were specfic. Other than that, it’s the usual smattering of non-fiction and memoir, with a couple of plays and books of essays. Here’s my annual list of Ten Or So Books Your Humble Blogger Enjoyed:\n
I’ve left off the list a few good books, such as Les Liaisons Dangereuses<\/a> and Spin<\/a> and The Man in the Basement<\/a> and A Dirty Job<\/a> and Any Old Iron<\/a>.
