In 2004 I finished 33 books and last year I finished 24. This year I came in at 28 books completed. It’s slightly more than last year and probably due to the fact that my commute has doubled… although I do fall asleep on the train frequently!

Here are all the books I’ve read since the beginning of 2004.
