Books of 2009

These are the books I read in 2009.

I love to see what books people have read.

Maybe it is my own compulsion with keeping lists.

Maybe it is because I like to see what other people are reading and have read.

Maybe it goes back to my childhood, where our local library gave prizes for the most books read in the summer months, the more books read equaled a better prize. Usually free passes to the local swimming pool.

Maybe it is just another of my quirks.

Regardless, here is my list of books I read in 2009:
