All in all, a good year for reading. Admittedly, the number of books I read this year was boosted by Artemis Fowl (good reading, that), but even without those I still managed to keep within my yearly target. Looking forward, 2009 looks promising between the unfinished business of 2008 (I count about three or four) and some new material that found its way to my desk (I count two or three). As always, suggestions are very welcome.
