My Brain Doesn't Bibliograph - 2005 edition

Following my attempts of the previous two years, here is a list of books I have read in 2005. Once again, I will probably fail to keep cataloguing throughout the year but I'll again work toward the 50 book challenge, which I have easily made in the past two years. Perhaps I should make it the 100 book challenge, but I suspect that might be too much with the year I have ahead!
