Books of 2007

I tend to be someone who actually keeps New Year's resolutions. Maybe I just don't set the bar too high? The past few years my resolution as been the same: Read more books than the previous year.

To succeed for 2007 I needed to read 48 books (I think). I did. I read 57 actually. Here they are:
