My Reading List From 2009

It has been some time since I made a posting here, one of the reasons being that I have been too busy reading! Nonetheless, what follows is a list of exactly what I read throughout 2009, and the perceptive reader will notice that outside of my favorites (Michael Connelly, James Lee Burke, Walter Mosley and Jonathon Kellerman) my reading has been eclectic, following no [particular theme or interest.
