I'm surprised how low the number is -- I really thought inhaling all of Dune and Hornblower and Aubrey/Maturin on audio would blow away my previous records. I guess that wasn't enough to compensate for all the 3-5 weeks tomes I was lugging around physically. Oh well! Still fairly pleased with the range of material this year.
