Books I read last year

Okay, listing the books you read is a bit sad, but I do have a valid reason. Y'see, I buy books and put them up to read later. Only, I forget all about them unless I keep a list. At any given moment, this list consists of between 20 and 40 titles. When I read a book, I cross it off the list. And by this process I just happen to have a list of books read. See? Told you there was valid reason. I have even had a stab at grading them. Scores out of 5 stars. Favourite book of 2005? A toss up between 'TWOC' by Graham Joyce and 'Skin Tight' by Carl Hiassen.
