#359 - Booklist 2009.

[reileen]

Well, now this is interesting. I hadn't realized I'd been reading more over the past few years.

Table 1. Number of books read by Reileen, broken down by year and separated into fiction and nonfiction.

Year	Fiction	Nonfiction	TOTAL
2006	37	25	62
2007	58	15	73
2008	75	15	90
2009	83	26	109

(i h8 u tables!!!)

Manga not counted in this, partly because it feels slightly like "cheating" and partly because I'm not sure how one would quantify reading the serialized chapters. Split it up between tankoubon and weeklies/monthlies, maybe?
