The year in books

2011 was more or less the year of books for me!And since I needed a challenge to keep going, I thought ‘lets try to read 50 books this year’. Well, I finished 35 (honestly, I did not read last 30 pages of ‘The Difficulty of being good’. Too much that book was!)Here’s a break down of the challenge, which I could not complete 😀 (this year onward, the challenge will be realistic :P)Total books read – 35Number of pages read – 12488Top 5 books –   1. The book thief                       2. Steve Jobs (biography)                       3. Love in the time of cholera                       4. The Pregnant King                       5. Palace of Illusions and Storm of SwordsHonorable mentions – Open, The Time Traveler’s wife, The wind up bird chronicle, The Hobbit, 100 years of solitude, the 4 hour workweekMost boring read of the year (*drumroll*) – The difficulty of being good.
