Book roundup, July-December 2010

[johnridley]

Oops, forgot to do this on the 1st. For those not aware, I do this (tracking) as a personal benchmark as a result of a resolution I made a number of years back to NOT fall into the habit of not reading. I made this resolution after realizing that I'd been so busy/distracted in my life that I had gone 3 years without reading a single book, and I didn't want to be that kind of person.

I don't do this as any kind of a competition, I read only for pleasure, but doing the numbers keeps me honest with myself.

• The Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell:
  
  • 1: Dauntless
    
  • 2: Fearless
    
  • 3: Courageous
    
  • 4: Valiant
    
  • 5: Relentless
