51 books!  That's up a bit from the last two years - 45 in 2009 and 45 in 2010 - and up quite a bit from only 27 in 2008.  I keep track of them on WeRead - both on facebook and on the WeRead website when the facebook app doesn't seem to be working - and don't actually total them up until the end, so it's always a surprise.

I'm not sure I'll include the links again, because that took a lot of time.  However, if you happen to click any of my links and buy the books from Amazon, they say they'll pay me a small percentage, so maybe it's worth it.  Also, I think links are quite handy for finding out more about any books that might sound interesting, and I very much like including the covers of  a few of the books. 

January is only half over, so my list isn't really late... How many books did you read in 2011?
