Book Count 2010

This year, I managed to make my way through 50 books.  50 wasn't planned or anything, but by the time I stopped to tally all my titles, I was in the mid 40's, so I did decide to power through and push right on up to 50 over the last two months, which has not been easy.  I've sort of hit a dry spell in the way of finding good books.  But by the end of this month, I will have finished the Bible again, and that will be my 50th, which is fitting because the Bible has taken me all year to read anyway.  It might as well round out my list as it rounds out my year.
