I am hoping that I will beat this number in 2009. 2008 started on a good note but some periods of heavy work dampened my pace. However some sick leave helped me get to this no. And considering the no. of books I have on unread as well as the ones I have abandoned temporarily, the no. may be easier to exceed than before. Lets see.

Happy New Year yet again to everyone
