Pat Yourselves on the Back

Here is the list of all the books we read during 2006.

Assuming, of course, that we read them all. At least we can say they've all been read if not, perhaps, by everyone. =) At any rate, I would love to thank everyone for their suggestions and contributions in 2006. I eagerly look forward to (a less demanding reading list for the next year) 2007!
