Last year, I set myself a challenge to read one new book per week – the challenge was in not doing overly much re-reading, rather than the quantity of books read. I managed just over 100, as listed on the relevant blog page, re-reads and all. I’ll try to blog about as many of these as possible, but since my current reads of 2010 are looming, I’m not sure how quickly I’ll be able to review 2009’s.
