Halfway Mark
Jul. 1st, 2009 12:29 pmHalfway through 2009, I've finished 69 books. A whole lot of those have been rereads, and light rereads at that. (There's even one lightweight book that I've read twice this year - once on its own, and once as part of a series reread.) Only ten nonfiction so far this year, too. Gotta work on that. The full list is under the cut.
