All in, 83 books since I started keeping track and it was pretty obvious to me where the lulls and highs were.  For the longest time, reading was only for metro ride - I didn't read much on vacation or at home, just for the two hours on metro and the hour for lunch.  So when I wasn't going to work ...

New goal: read more at home.  Make an hour for it each day.

Also, damn, I tore through some series this year.
