2009 Reading Challenge Master List

This year I am getting in early to join the 100 books reading challenge hosted here.

Do it with me PLEASE :) I am the 274th person to register, I cant wait to see everyone's book lists.

I will keep this post updated with a list of books I have read throughout the year, it should be fun and a good way to keep myself motivated. I am not going to set myself a reading list, I will just take each book as it comes and list it as I start/finish it.
