As with every year past for many years, here is a compiled list of books read for the year. I may not review everything I read, but I try to track it all and at least acknowledge it here.
Books read will come in many formats: serialized in magazines (less often than when I was young), eBooks, pBooks (paper) and aBooks (audio) (yes, format doesn't matter, it all counts).
Number of books read (as of December 28, 2015): 154.

Sometimes I have swapped between multiple versions of one title, but I'm listing is as electronic or paper or audio if that's the main way I listened to it (hence the number of books in various formats is greater than the number of titles read).
