The books were read in the order written under each year. I put an H at the end for the hardcover books that I could remember. I have found it helpful to be able to look back at what I have read to both inspire me to read more and also to see when it is time for some books to be re-read.

By the way I did finish up Cell, the Stephen King book. Not bad, good entertainment if you don't mind the gore and waste of human life throughout the book. Now I have only gotten into a couple of pages of Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte so I guess it is next. I will be looking for a 2nd book though as well.

Did get 2 miles in at the Community center tonight. Also did a little orientation in the weight room with a trainer. This is my wife's idea for the new year, to work out on weights--for her just to get exercise and for me to lose a few pounds that it seems running can't make go away. Tomorrow should be a long run of some sort I hope, at least the weather sounds like it should be good.
