2010 Books in Review

I've been meaning to do a wrap-up of the books I read at the end of each year, but this is the first time that I'm actually making it happen.

In 2010 I read 53 books (which I'm very pleased with, although in 2009 I read 64 books).

30 of these books were paper copies, while 23 books were 'read' while listening to them in my car during my short commute.

I read a total of 10,347 pages in the paper copies and listened to 246 cds (which translates into 9,940 pages) for a total of 20,287 pages. The average length of the books I read was 398 pages.

The average grade that I have given the books is approximately a B, while the most common grade given is a B+.

I read 27 fiction books (including science fiction, fantasy and mystery), 9 non-fiction books, 11 biographies/memoirs/autobiographies and 3 religious books.

2 books received an A grade - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (fantasy) and The Death of a President (non-fiction).

5 additional books received A- grades - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (fantasy), The Mormon Way of Doing Business (non-fiction), The Book Thief (fiction), The Return of the King (fantasy) and Bonk (non-fiction).

I am currently reading A Nice Little Town and The Bible Salesman, but I'm always looking for good recommendations!
