I'm done.117 for this year . (approx) 58 were bots and 60 were books. Some I did both at the same time which is an enjoyable thing to do. My hitting 100 was much easier due to a lengthy commute and listing to BOTs. Depending on size of the book, I could listen to 100 BOTs a year on my commute.

Next year my target is 50 and I may reread and take notes on some of the books from this year.

Cool list of books. Some of these books I'll be reading well into 2010. I just got the paperback edition of Evan Wright's HELLA NATION, and I'm flipping through the pages fast! Thanks for the tip.
