Top 10 in ’10

This year, for the first time, I decided to keep a log of all the books I read. I spend a lot of my free time reading, but I never really tracked what I was reading, so I thought this would make an interesting experiment. I tracked each book, how many pages, and what general category the book fell into. Here are my results in 2010:

  • 12,807 pages
  • 51 books
    • 5 books in Philosophy
    • 3 books in Classic Literature
    • 9 books about Saints
    • 5 books in Christology
    • 4 books on Eastern Christianity
    • 5 books by Doctors of the Church
    • 4 books in General Theology
    • 4 books in Spirituality
    • 6 books about Baseball
    • 1 book about writing
    • 5 books in “Other”

Below are ten of my favorite books from this year (note: these are not books necessarily published in 2010 but books I read this year). I tried to make an effort to include books from all the different categories from which I read.

9) Adventures in Daily Prayer [2], Bert Ghezzi

8) Hymns on Paradise [3], St. Ephrem

7) Jesus as God: The New Testament Use of Theos in Reference to Jesus [4], Murray Harris

6) Frankenstein [5], Mary Shelley

5) On Hope [6], Josef Pieper

4) How to Profit from Your Faults [7], Joseph Tissot
