I must admit that I am probably not going to be able to list all the books I read this year, because I simply cannot remember some of the things I have read. For example I know I read "Cocktails for Three" by Sophie Kinsella, and I know I read a couple other boks of hers, but cannot remember the titles. Ah well. In any case, here are some of the books I read this past year in no particular order. I'll only comment on a few of them.
2009
Prince Caspian
CS Lewis
The Prodigal God
Tim Keller
I enjoy Keller so much and can read anything he has written and will listen to any sermon he has preached. I love his Bible studies and have done most of them. Of all current theologians, he is my absolute fav.
Total Money Makeover
Dave Ramsey
I LOVE Dave Ramsey. I wish I knew about him when we lived in Germany and were getting out of debt. We have been debt free (besides the house) for 2 years which has been awesome. I used his method of envelopes before I knew about him and even on a tiny budget we were able to pay off thousands of dollars. I love not being bound to financing every little thing, and the freedom that comes from not having a bunch of bills. I look forward to the day when we pay off our home, which we hope to do in the next 15 years.

your list for 2010 is already really long! I go through phases and have not read in a while. I have a really hard time reading at night because I collapse into bed and fall right asleep. Morning is too busy and afternoon is my only chance to get everything else done! Ah for the days of nursing. The time will come again...
Wow. One day I shall have a long list of awesome books I have read instead of listing all the Seinfeld quotes I know. :-)
Totally agree on the Dave Ramsey book! We read it this past year and loved it, he is very inspiring and really makes you think you can do it. We are working on saving up a down payment so we can get a house sometime in the future. That is fun to see that you liked the potato peel book, it kept coming up in lists that I saw and it looked interesting, just never picked it up.
