A little late coming, but here are the books I read in 2006. My goal was to read one a week, but I didn't quite make it. But I did read more than last year, so I'm happy about that!

On the political front, I would recommend Fast Food Nation and Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal to anyone. In children's fiction, I loved Speak, The Folk Keeper, Well Wished, Because of Winn-Dixie, and The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place. Besides Fast Food Nation, there were some others I've been wanting to read for a while and finally did—1984 and His Dark Materials trilogy (The Golden Compass, etc). And the one book I wish every woman would read is Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It ain't just about wanting to get pregnant! However, if you are on the parenthood track, I highly recommend Our Babies, Ourselves.
