Dave's 2010 Booklist

"20 years ago I found a study that said if you read one book a month, 12 books a year, you're in the 99th percentile of readers."

via Millard Fillmore's Bathtub.

Man, I really hope that's not true. There's no link or citition accompanying his statement, so I cant say how accurate it is. Still, it's a great intro to this year's Booklist. As always, recommended books and authors are linked.
