Fall down go boom
Here's a picture of me and (just about) every book I finished reading in 2015. A few of them got cropped out. (Also, some of the books were on my Kindle, so the stack should be a little higher. Also, there are links to the podcasts I did with the authors of many of them.)
Go read my gigantic writeup about it!(and also check out my writeups from 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014)
