Holy Smokes, Batman--Look How Much I've Read

So, today is day 181 so we're not quite half-way through the year, but I thought I'd mention some of my favorite books I've read this year. My goal is 366 titles read this year and I'm up to 197... I think. (Yeah, I'm a little ahead of the game, but there will be vacations and NaNoWriMo to account for.) And these are titles so some are shorter than others... it's still sort of amazing... even to me, but it is killing my writing goals. Le sigh. Anyway...

THESE AREN'T IN ORDER OF HOW MUCH I LIKE THEM. They're in order of when I picked their title off my read list. I can't possibly put them in order of how much I liked them. I also linked to my reviews on Amazon on some--and if you feel like marking my reviews as helpful--you know... whatever... I won't stop you. ; )

Okay, I'll go by genre... and since I'm an overachiever, I'll link you to their Amazon pages:

I know Ender's Game should really be in a separate category with other Sci-fi/Fantasy books but most of the ones I've read fit in other categories and I've got some on my TBR to read before the end of the year, so keep your pants on. My end of the year list will have more Sci-fi/Fantasy. (And, yes, my Classics list could have gone to 20 with just the Agatha Christie books I've read, but I think you got the point with the ones listed.)

There are quite a few that I really should do reviews on, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

Oh, wait, one final list:
