Books of 2011 - The Complete List

As of today, the book challenge of 2011 is coming to an end. As opposed to last year, in 2011 I have managed to read a total of 52 books. However, yet again, I failed writing about most of them, just as I failed most of my other new years' resolutions. Nevertheless, I am glad the challanged number has added up by today, even if I could not maintain the habit of  "reading one book per week steadily throughout the year then writing a review about the volume". I have already figured out a new reading challange for 2012. It will be a bit more ambitious, demanding, and require me to be more committed in regard of not drifting away from what the challange/resolution actually is. I am going to write about it later in detail. I may also write about what books I really liked and hated this year.

Wow. That is more than fifteen thousand pages (in case you did not pay attention in math class).
