Books of 2010

This year, I read 45 books and discovered 25 new authors.

I began filling in the blank pages on May 14, the day I turned 23. With absolutely no idea where this journey might take me, I patiently kept everything in one place. I don't have a specific goal regarding the number, quality, or quantity of books; I believe it's better to simply read and enjoy the process as much as possible.
