So, that makes a total of 32 books this year (slightly up on last year) with an average page count of 333, of which 12 were part of The Grognard Files book club. As usual, I've tracked these in a spreadsheet for a little bit of analysis. Book of the year was probably The Inimitable Jeeves by PG Wodehouse which made me laugh out loud numerous times at the deliciously constructed farcical tales.
