The Marx quote is one of my favorites. I've been feeling bad that, while I don't think I'm actually reading less, or at least not much less, I've been reading far fewer books in the last year. Yet, I don't really want to make it a chore. You have some great, fun books on your list. Good for you, and happy new year!!!

Out of curiosity, what do the asterisks indicate?

Happy New Year to you, as well. I know what you mean about doing lots of reading that doesn't show up on a list, what with papers and magazines and the interbunny, et al. I read comics that if they were in collected form would count as books, but read month by month don't. Plus there are non-fiction books, like The Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract, where I'll just read a couple of chapters at a time, so I don't count them because I didn't read it cover to cover this time around.

The asterisks are for books I'd read before.
