stoutfellowJust a quick wrap-up: in 2006 I read a total of 84 books, up from 76 in '05. The breakdown was pretty similar: 15 nonfiction (15 in '05), 43 new fiction (42), 25 reread fiction (19), and one reference (0). The big difference in rereads probably can be attributed to a Bujold marathon, in which I reread all of her published work, with the exception of the stories in Dreamweaver's Dilemma. I listed the first-half books here; what I read in the second half of the year is under the cut.
