A year in reading

In 2007 - the second year I managed to keep a list - I have read 146 books. Initially the plan was to write a review here about each and every one of them. As is normally the case with my plans I didn’t go through with it in the end (which is the reason I gave up really making plans long ago).

Mainly this was because whenever I finished one book I had already started another one, or two, and so never really got around to write a review about the last one because in my head I was already inhabiting the world of the next one. Another reason, it goes without saying, is of course my unbelievable laziness when it comes to doing anything even marginally useful.

Now, obviously I won’t ever get around to write proper reviews of all those books (some of them are not really worth one anyway), but I came up with an idea to at least showcase some of them here in some form. So I decided to do some best-of lists with short reviews of the respective books. I will post then as I make them up in the next couple of days.
