I bet I read 50 books last year. Dang. Here's the Amazon purchases for 2005 that I actually read:
Sin City #s1, 2, 3 and 5, by Frank Miller
Locas, by los bros Hernandez
V for Vendetta, by Alan Moore
HP Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life, by Michel Houellebecq
Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro
The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living, by Martin Clark (skipped to end)
The Smiths' Meat Is Murder, by Joe Pernice
Trawler, by Redmond O'Hanlon
Dear Pussycat: Mash Notes and Missives from the Desk of Cosmopolitan's Legendary Editor, by Helen Gurley Brown
-that's 12-
For the rest of the books I am going to have to trawl around my house. I remember off the top of my head:
The Painted Veil, by Somerset Maugham
On Her Majesty's Secret Service, by Ian Fleming
-that's 14-
I'm not sure whether to count all the home design and general picture books, or Make magazine. I'm not going to count them for now but if I need to pad to get to 50 I will.
