i almost made my goal of reading 50 books -- but didn't get there. 47! dangit!

i finished all but 1 of the books i started (1Q84 by Haruki Murakami).

and i totally read more fiction this year ... the nonfiction books i read actually tripped me up on meeting my 50-book goal.

fwiw, i think my favorite book this year was the art of hearing heatbeats by Jan-Philipp Sendker.

I know I'm a little late on this, but my resolutions are:
1. mix my usual diet of nonfiction books with more novels.
2. finish(!) nearly all the books i start. (i have the same problem as Jeffrey.)
3. read at least 50 books this year.

i got off to a good start with #1 and #3; The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History nearly killed me on keeping resolution #2.
