I may not have read a lot in the way of quantity, but the quality of my reading this past year was pretty good. There were several months in which I only read one or two books (if any), especially during the months when we were traveling. I read quite a few from my stacks, but didn't read a single e-book! Maybe that will be my focus when we're out on the road this year.
