Sixty-seven books. (12 audiobooks, 20 Kindle)
Best non-fiction: Unbroken by Hillenbrand tied with Helmet for My Pillow by Leckie (both about WWII)
Most enjoyable new authors: Connie Willis in her WWII time travel series and Scottish novelist, O. Douglas
Most powerful classics: Paradise Lost and Moby Dick (These don't really count because I'm still reading them, but I wanted to counterbalance the depressing list of books that follows.)
Least exciting classics: Don Quixote, and three others
My two favorite books of the year were re-reads: Wind in the Willows and The Dean's Watch
Thanks to the Classics Club Challenge (and to the fact that most of the books were free on my Kindle), I read 14 of the 50 books on my list. In spite of the challenge to read meatier stuff, I succumbed to reading some fluffy vintage fiction that was also free on Kindle so it was an up-and-down (but good) year.

I've loved reading about your experiences with your Classics Club list and 14 is a great total for the first year. :)
