Your 2012 Reading List

Here's a place to catalog what you've read this year. For those who made resolutions to read more (like I did) or just want to see how much you read in a year, this'll be a lot of fun for you.

Be sure to post a list of what you read last year in your first post so that we can see what we accomplished in 2010.
