So many books, so little time

For lack of anything interesting to report or any resolutions to declare, today I'm simply going to list all the books I read in 2005. You don't have to read the whole list if you don't want to. As long as you realize that I'll talk about you behind your back and spread filthy rumors about you and the senator's son.

Titles with * next to them are, unfortunately, chick lit. I read a few too many of those this last year. Titles in larger, bold text are books I highly recommend.
