the 2004 Booklist

These are the books I read in 2004. You'll notice the pathetically low number of non-fiction books (NF) on the list. I was rather appalled at the number myself, which is why the 2005 list has a lot more (and is shorter; I can blast through a piece of fiction, but non-fiction reading can be work!)(sort of)(okay, actually I just tend to fall asleep). Recommended stuff is linked.
