Books read in 2007

This post is mostly for myself, so that I can get rid of my book list sidebar but still keep a record of the books I've read this year. I plan to remove the sidebar the 1st week of January to make room for a new list for 2008. I'm keeping the links in case anyone wants to explore more about a particular book (the link will take you to the book in Amazon, as will clicking on the book titles in any of my sidebars).
