Books of 2011

I know that close to half of these are graphic novels, but I still count them. And I know that I didn't finish three items on the list (as indicated), but two were short story collections that didn't need to be read fully and one was a novel we were told to read up to a certain point in before skimming the rest. The three were for classes. So I read them as I needed to for the class. That's that. And I'm 6 books short of last year's tally, but ... eh. Beat the Nerdfighter Challenge (50 books in a year).
