Lists of Bests: athenalindia's "Books I've Read in 2008" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/47175 Books get added to this list as I get them from the library or buy them, and then checked off when I've read them. So far, this is largely fiction with a smattering of non-fiction, although later in the year when I start studying for my comprehensive exams, the ratio will definitely change.
