What I read in 2010

See past editions of the list, here and here.

BG=Book Group selection.  REV=read to review. I’m in two book groups (and sometimes a third), so a lot of my reading is driven by that.  These are numbered in chronological order, from January to December.  I don’t read very fast, and I don’t read a lot of short books, so 24 books in a year is kinda good for me.
