Book roundup July-December 2011

[johnridley]

Not a record year but not bad. I've been pretty busy the last 3 months or so with 3D printing and a few other things so I dropped back a bit, or I think I might have come close to 100. I may set myself that as a goal this year. I'll have to get back into audio books to do it, I simply don't have time to read 2 books a week in print. In fact with my reading speed that might not actually be possible unless I read 8 hours a day, or read a bunch of < 300 page books.

2007 was the year that I realized that I had not read a book for pleasure in probably 5 years, and decided I didn't want to be that kind of person. This happened rather late in the year.
