What I Read in 2009

Just because I took the time to figure it out:

85 books altogether

51 were fiction
17 were nonfiction
10 were memoirs
7 were graphic novels

Of those, 66 (78%) were written by white authors and 19 (22%) were by authors of color. (I didn't calculate male vs. female authors, old vs. new, library books vs. review copies vs. storebought books, because I figured if I wasn't dying to know those stats, probably nobody else was either.)

I also read parts of at least 3 books of short stories, 2 poetry books, and at least a dozen cookbooks.

Reading goals for 2010? Bring the authors of color up to at least 25%, increase my reading of local authors, and eventually finish A Fine Balance and David Copperfield.
