I must have read over 70 books this year. I stopped counting when I passed 50 books sometime in August. Still, when I see lists like this, I always feel like I haven’t read anything, ever. Of the NYTimes’ 100 Notable Books for 2007, I have read four of them.

Not that I really expect myself to have read all these books. It seems like lists of books make me worried. I started to go through 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die and quickly got annoyed. Who says I should read all these books? Quit being so bossy, Listology.

In other thoughts, I had no idea so many interesting biographies came out this year. Leonard Woolf? Thomas Hardy? Edith Wharton? Oooooh…
