I said I was going to read fifty books in 2007, and I thought I was at 48, but when I was actually making the list earlier (because bored) it turned out I’d miscounted, and I had, in fact, read fifty.
Since it’s unlikely I’ll be finishing any of the books I’m reading right now before New Year (I tend to only read when skipping class), I’m just going to post it now and declare victory. As such, in alphabetical order by author:
