43 in 52
One of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2007 was to read at least 40 books, including the Bible, in a word-for-word fashion. Many people I know read many more books than that in a year, but I am proud to say that I accomplished my goal. In fact, I read 43 and am using the extra time at the end of the year to read the Bible again.
Here is a list of the books I read in 2007 in the order in which I finished them (the highlighted books contain links to their review on this blog).
