recommended books with a little help from 2010..

In 2010, I read a total of 102 books. I was fortunate enough to have read mostly good ones, and only disliked a few. However, there are some books that stood out the most to me in the past year, and I decided to compile a list of these. These are books that I read in 2010, enjoyed and loved. These are the books that I feel comfortable recommending to others who are looking for a new read. If you have read any of the books here, let me know which ones -- just by telling me which number -- and also what you thought of them. Also, if you have other suggestions of books you read the past year and that you personally highly recommend, feel free to do so. Happy New Year everybody!
