For those who kept count, how many books did you read in 2007?

I've read 56 books since January 1st, and I'll probably at least finish The Annotated P&P by the end of the year.

I just counted them up, so far I've finished 27 (will probably be 28 by tomorrow when I finish a Gabriel Garcia Marquez collection tomorrow) and have half read about four. Not as good a total as I was hoping but I think my marks would have suffered had it been any higher.

I counted through my book log and so far I'm at 96, and I think it'll stop there since I just started Shindler's List and it's kinda long so...Btw, Dom, that's a really pretty avatar!

You should read 4 short books to make it an even 100.

96 wow! i've read 60 books (I don't keep count of re-readings). I think I should have read less books and studied much more...I really couldn't concentrate this year, hope to do better in 2008 I'm getting a little frustrated with being late on uni exams and feeling tired, but everyone here is optimistic.

I've read 69 books so far this year, and hopefully I'll finish 2 more that I'm in the middle of before the end of the year.

I did finish Annotated P&P, so it's 57 now. Of course, if I counted like Lu, I'd have only read 50 because I reread the first 6 HP books and this was technically a reread of P&P even though there was so much more.

I don't think I'm going to finish my book today so that means I've read 44 which I think is amazing for me. I credit you guys too for keeping me interested in books during school. I had only read 15 books the previous year because I only read during the summer.
