Though not quite the least number of books since we've been keeping track, 24 is still below my average.
I'm seeing a trend, here:
2004: 40
2005: 47 (I count grad school and beginning teaching for padding my numbers that year.)
2006: 35
2007: 34
2008: 36
2009: 21
2010: 23
I am on a slight upswing, so that's progress! (And if you're curious, I linked to all the past lists.)
Favorite first reads from 2011:

Best fiction not by Wendell Berry that I liked so much I read it again this year:
The Help
They all deserve a post, or at least a paragraph, of their own. Someday.
so this inspires me to keep a record of the books that i read this year. i always have a book with me, but to be honest, i have never kept track of what i read each year. one book so far:)
