The ??? means I don't remember if I read it or not - I guess I should count that as a "no" if it was so forgettable.

One would think I never read with a list like this, but I read all the time - only it's 98 non-fiction books to every 2 fiction, LOL. Well, that's not counting what I read aloud to the kids. So maybe 95 non-fiction to every 5. ;-)
