Every book I read in 2008

Since January 2004, I have kept a log of every book I've read. Just titles and authors, no reviews or anything. Merely a record of my literary footprints.

I don't count individual comics--I'd say I read close to 100 of those in a year--but I do count graphic novels. I also don't count my own books, although I read those many, many times over in the writing and editing of them. But that shouldn't count. I don't include books I abandon, which happens occassionally, nor books I only partially read for research purposes. Oh, and I often read books with Jo, but I don't record those in my book. I should, but I always forget to. Bah.

So here they are--every book I read in 2008, in order!
