Book List: Which of these have You Read?

"Never judge a book by it's price!" - Chloe Sha

I've kept a track of all the books that I've read in the last year, because I'm a book-aholic. I find it very difficult to walk into a book-store and walk out without a new book under my arms. I find it even more difficult to stay out of book-stores!
