I was again surprised by how much I enjoyed the classics I read.  Anna Karenina & The Woman in White were both very good!

I'm not sure of the length of some of the books I will be reading this year, so I think I will stick with a goal of 35 books.  I plan to rotate still between classic literature, non-fiction, and something I want to read (possibly recent fiction). 

So what did you read this year that you really enjoyed?
