Here’s what I’ve read for 2010. It’s by far the most reading I’ve ever done in 6 months. Last year I barely hit my goal of 25 books for 2009. This year, it looks like I’ll easily surpass my goal of 30.

Thought there were some good themes that ran through it. I liked the portrayal of guilt and the agony of unatoned sin. It’s a sad sad story so that also made it hard to read.
But my overall response: “Meh.”
Have you read it?
