What type of books did you read in 2008? I've read a whole bunch that were very insightful... I may have read about 10 last year. My favorite was Siddhartha. Which books did you enjoy and how many were you able to read?

I wasn't much of a bookworm last year. Most of the books I read are about life and things that matter to me like Daniel Carnegie's,"How to Start Worrying and Start Living." The Dialogues of Plato filled my lack of knowledge in Philosophy. I also read How-to-Books like How to Speak Chinese and How to Pass Praxis I and II tests.

I mean, "How to STOP Worrying and Start Living"

I don't know how many books I read last year. Every year I think about writing a record about it, and every year I forget to do it. Thing is, I read as much as I can, while traveling, at home... and part of my job includes reading so, I read at my work too. But the best one was, I'm sure of it, "Dictionary of the Khazars", by Milorad Pavic. It's the best book I've read in years! :) I highly recommend it!!

I probably read about 100 last year. I don't really keep track.

I have read 8 books in 2008. Most of them are about leadership. Others includes nutrition, business, and self help. What i enjoy the most is the book 'First Things First'. It really helped me a lot in terms of time management and prioritizing the things that really matters to me.

I read a TON of books last year. I love murder/mystery thrillers. Anything by James Patterson is a MUST read for me. I started a little into Mary Higgins Clark, Iris Johanson, and Tami Hoag too. I need a fast moving plot that hooks me right from the start. I bet I read over 25 books last year. I get so hooked that I can finish a book in one night with no sleeping. It's an addiction :)

That's really good that you are reading since a lot of people are forgetting to do it lately, but remember to get a good nights sleep! Thanks for the reply.

I can't count how many I read last year but I read Echart's New Earth four times which is very unusual for me.
