Books I've Read In 2007
This page shows the books I've finished so far this year. To make it more interesting, I'm making a game of it. Every page I read counts as a mile. I have to finish the book or story for the miles to count. Let's see how far my reading journey takes me.
Click in the "If Pages Were Miles" column to see a map of the latest leg of my trip. If you want to know more about any of the books, click the title in the list of Finished Books on the right side of the page.
