This list was put together rather hastily upon the arrival of the New Year and seeing exhaustive lists like rikkicupcake's. I read a lot this year, some of which may not have made the list…not to mention the 2-3,000 pages I read of various articles and excerpts for the fall semester.

Promise for 2011:
To keep up with and post books as read! It’s not entirely fair since I am required to read 90% of these, BUT it will be a nice way for me to keep a running tally of what I did read, what I got from it, etc etc to prepare for my comprehensive exams. Neat!
