Books I read this year

So [[http://nakulmandan.blogspot.com|Nakul]] [[http://nakulmandan.blogspot.com/2005/12/book-tag-again.html|tagged]] me. Hmph! I’ve already told him earlier I think this is a silly meme, but I’m in holiday spirit, so what the hell. I’ll even see if I can pass it along.

Honestly, I really don’t think I remember all of the books I read this year. But I’ll try anyways (and I’ll include books I tried to read but did not finish):

I realize I don’t have all that many frequest posters (in the people’s section) on my blog roll :(
