For me this is a completely insane amount of books. Looking back over the last few years my normal reading list amounts to around 40-50 books a year. Listening to audiobooks helped increase my total by a few but I've also spent less time gaming or web surfing and spent more time reading.

I've notice a lot of bloggers doing the top 10 of 2009 but as I look over my list of books I don't think I could just pick 10. There are so many books on my list that I loved and I enjoyed reading all of them. So I will just leave this post as a list of what I read this past year.

Maybe, just maybe I can manage 100 books for 2010. A New Year's Resolution possibility.
