2011 Reading Summary

I have been keeping track of my annual reading for about 7 years now. In 2011, I read 84 books. This compares to 73 last year, 80 in 2009, 110 in 2008, and around 140-150 the years before that. This is because I listen to an absolute ton of podcasts, which cut into my reading time. I have always been a fan of audio, and 43 of the 84 books I consumed this year were via unabridged audio. 31 were traditional dead-tree books, 7 were graphic novels, and 3 were on the Nook.

The 60 novels I read break down as follows: (note that the total exceeds 60, as many books fit into more than one category)
Mystery/Thriller -- 21
Fantasy/SF -- 21
Romance/ Girlie -- 8
YA -- 8
Christian -- 7
Historical -- 3


The 24 non-fiction works I read break down as follows: (note that the total exceeds 24, as many books fit into more than one category)
Christian/Theology -- 17
Sports & Entertainment -- 5
Memoir/Biography -- 4
Other -- 3
