2007 A Year in Lists
I was inspired to keep track of my media consumption this year, after reading Nicholas Felton's annual report. While my record keeping wasn't quite as extensive, it's still largely accurate. There were a few other lists that I didn't put up here, including cities, events and museums. Enjoy.

These were the non-fiction books that I consumed over the course of the year, in chronological order. There was also a lot of non-fiction, but it was mostly for school, so I opted not to include it.
