  2. Wow, that's a lot of books. I'm like George Costanza from Seinfeld: "I'm gonna read a book. From beginning to end. In that order.". Now that I don't have to read as many tech manuals hopefully I can get back to reading for fun.

  9. Hi! Thank you so much for tracking back to my blog and taking the time to comment. I love "meeting" new bloggers and see we have a lot of similar interests... reading, running, cooking and parenthood at the top of the list!

    I read 83 books in 2010! We were so close! :)
    I'm aiming for 100 in 2011. We'll see.... ;)

    Great meme answers, by the way. I see you read a book by Lesley Kagen. I read her book Tomorrow River in 2010 and enjoyed it very much. Do you recommend Land of a Hundred Wonders?
