I recently joined up at goodreads.com mostly to keep track of books I’d like to read. I could try to update the list of books I’ve read, but that would take a while. Maybe I’ll just update as I read. Anyway, they sent this email of 2007’s top 10 most-read fiction and non-fiction books of the people who use goodreads. These seemed like lists worth keeping, and sharing.
