Reading List 2012

In case anyone is interested, here's the list of books I've read this year. Feel free to use it to get ideas for your own personal reading. Some were for fun, some for learning, others for my own personal satisfaction of saying I read them (such as some of the classics). A few I inherited from my roommates, some I picked up while browsing through the new titles at the library. One was recommended by a nurse practitioner at work and another I overheard some RNs talking about while working at triage. A few I found while browsing through the medical section of Barnes and Noble. Most were read but a couple were listened to on audio. Enjoy!
