Well, 2005 is getting very close,and I feel an urge to make a brief summary of my readings in 2004.
I think 2004 was a good reading year for me.I haven`t kept records of the number of read books before,so I can`t compare but still 57 books sounds very good to me- this is a bit more than a book every week!
I read a lot through Bookcrossing- I dare say,the most part of my readings were from bookrings or rays, or books sent to me by other bookcrossers. I got introduced to some new writers, as Alice Sebold, Alessandro Baricco,Ursula Hegi, Amy Tan, Bernhard Schlink,Haruki Murakami.
Some of the best books I read in 2004 were:
1. "Snow" by Orhan Pamuk (maybe the best book of 2004 for me)
2. "Invention of Solitude" by Paul Auster
3. "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd
4. "The Go Between" by L.P.Hartley
5. "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold
6. "Silk" by Alessandro Baricco
7. "Italian Neighbours" by Tim Parks
8. "The Girl Who Played Go" by Shan Sa
9. "Knowledge of The Angels" by Jill Paton Welsch
10."Under The Tuscan Sun" by Frances Mayes

My reading goals for 2005 include:
---Reading at least 60 books.
---Making more wild releases
---Reading in time the books promised to other bookcrossers
------------------------- ------------------------- -
Priority books I wish to read in 2005 (taken from my wish list):
"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hussein
"Time Traveller`s Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger (done)
"Italian Education" by Tim Parks
"The Last Samurai" by Helene DeWitt
