At the Halfway Point

Well, it's July, which means the year is practically half over already. I'm still hoping to read more books than I did last year, and I'm a teensy bit ahead of schedule... by a whole week. I have to do better than the 33 I read last year, and I'm currently at 17 for 2011:

I've got plenty more to read, including the nine Kindle books that I bought for $20 in celebration of purchasing my very own Kindle and not having to share one with my wife. It's been tough though; as always, it's time rather than interest that threatens to ruin my record-breaking run.
