2011 Books Read

I read 33 books in 2011. Normally I get in closer to 40, but Thomas Mann's vast The Magic Mountain  consumed about two and a half months (I started it in mid-June and finished it in early September). Taking this into account it was a pretty normal reading year, in terms of quantity. I did manage to get more classics in than I normally do, though, and that was exciting. On the flip side, I read far fewer short stories overall, something I intend to correct in 2012.

Here are the 33 books I read in 2011, and the date on which I finished each of them:
