What We Read in 2011

Here is our reading list from 2011. Its fairly accurate, but I think a lot of the children's school books didn't get entered. We did count "twaddle" this year, but that will be a debatable subject for the upcoming year.

Twaddle: trivial or foolish writing

I'm still happy that my family read over 117 books to accumulate almost 20,000 pages read for the year. I will have you know, that they are very excited that we kept these records because now they are aggressively attempting to boost their reading numbers up, up, up! BTW, you have to FINISH the book to have it counted for the year. This is both a blessing and a curse, especially when so many of us (me) start books and can't quite get them finished by year's end...
The Count:
Family 758 pages
Dad 5,698 pages
Mom 3,650 pages
Belle 6,968 pages
Boy 1,935 pages
Sis 328 pages

Ask us about something we read and we'll be glad to tell you what we thought of it!

  4. Sorry for the delayed response, Boy says "I, Juan De'Pareja" was his very favorite book last year... And Mr. Pilot reads at night, and in the morning, and while he is between flights at work. :~))
