Books I've Read in 2009

In 2008 I made a new years resolution to read 24 books that year – that’s two books a month, one book every other week. I ended up reading 26 by November. I’m a proud man. Sadly, I had nine other resolutions and only accomplished two.

Here are the book I’ve read in no particular order. Title in bold are book I loved. Titles in italics are books I tend to recommend to other people. Titles in asterisk* are short stories that I consider to be books. Titles in double asterisks** are books I reread.
