LibraryThing.com poll time!

Every new years there's a delightful tradition over in the librarything community of posting a list of all the books you've read in the past year, and seeing who has read these books. I missed doing this last year as I was in the thick of that Second Life project, but pulled together the poll for this year ...

To save you the effort of counting ... that's 73 books read in 2011. I was very worried that I wasn't going to make my 72-book goal for the year this year, but managed (with the help of some very thin volumes) to catch up in the last weeks of the year. I would have been bummed to have fallen short, as, since I set that 72 (nonfiction) book target, I've made or exceeded it each year with 73 in 2006, 79 in 2007, 78 in 2008, 74 in 2009, 72 in 2010, and now 73 in 2011! As always, you can browse my library over at http://btripp-books.com which takes you right to my listings at LibraryThing.
