book a week geek

Finally.

These are the books I read in 2006 (one per week, alas: book a week geek). It does not include things I read for school, books of poetry or graphic novels/comic books. It does include books of short stories, because I think those count as books. It was fun. I was proud of myself. Asterisked are those I loved.
