In 2009 I started keeping track of what books I read, what genres they were, and what I thought about them. I have weird bouts of organization like that. 2009 was so much fun that I repeated it for 2010 and intend to do the same in 2011.
I thought you might find this information interesting. I also have weird bouts of egotism.
Total Books Read 2010: 51
Change from 2009: -5

17 were Fantasy
7 were Mystery
7 were Science Fiction
4 were Thrillers
4 were Nonfiction
3 were Romance
2 were Historical Fiction
2 were General Literature
1 was Horror
1 was Steampunk
1 was Young Adult

1 was Satire
Genres that went up/were added: Science Fiction, Nonfiction, Thriller, Steampunk, Young Adult, Satire, Graphic Novel
Genres that went down/were removed: Fantasy, Mystery, Romance, General Literature, Horror, Epic Poetry, Humor, Adventure
The biggest trend I noticed is that I read a lot more science fiction this year, so it took numbers away from fantasy and mystery which tend to be my main reading genres.
35 Books were mine (9 were Kindle e-books)
14 were from the Library
2 were borrowed from Friends/Family
