2005 Book Tally

[thetofupirate]

Well, the tally from when I started keeping track in March.

I read a total of 47 books. (That makes me sad. I want to read more! Stupid work, making me stay late and taking away from my reading time! Or the fact that I watched a hell of a lot of movies could account for some of this.)

Fiction: 42 (38 novels, 2 short stories, 2 graphic novels/heavily illustrated)
Non-Fiction: 5 (1 on punk music, 1 on Kevin Smith, 1 on feminism, 1 on baseball, 1 on hiking the Appalachian trail)
Books by women: 34
Books by men: 11
Books by Canadians: 8 (at least. There's a couple more that I think may be Canadian)

Favourite Fiction: Adam and Eve and Pinch-Me, Geek Love, Telling Tales

Favourite Non-Fiction: Fury's Hour: a (sort of) punk manifesto

I definitely need to read more in 2006!

oh my goodness, 47 books? i'm jealous. i have to make more time to read... maybe i should be reading now instead of being on lj but i haven't been on since friday. i have the very modest goal of 2 books a month which sounds ridiculous considering i used to read at least a book every week. i'm hoping that it will actually be a lot more once i get back into a routine for the reading.

Other people on my friends list have close to 100 book on theirs. My reading slowed considerably once I got my new job. Good luck with reading more!
