{i've been here!!}
Though the rest of the world may quit with paper and glue altogether, I think I will take my books to my grave.
We had a Kindle for a little while but just couldn't get into it and ended up selling it off.

I'll have to read some of the books on your list! Lately I've found myself enjoying mystery stories... I absolutely loved "The 13th Tale" by Diane Setterfield, and right now I'm halfway through "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" by Alan Bradley and can't put it down :) I'm with you, give me a flesh and blood book over the digital kind any day.
I'm SO with you on loving "real" books. There is something about the whole book experience - the feel, the smell, the cover, turning the pages, etc. I'm an avid book reader, but I haven't read one book on your list which surprised me. Maybe we are into different genres.
Wonderful photos and quote. You piqued my curiosity with a couple of titles. I'll have to add them to the list. I got a Kindle this year -- I like the immediacy of getting another book to read, but still prefer paper and ink.
Here's my list:

thanks for sharing your list, amanda! i really enjoyed the good thief as well.
I haven't read any on your list and we even own "The World is Flat." I completely agree with you on having a physical book while reading. I've always fantasized about having a library in my home with built-in book shelves chucked full of books Brad and I have read. We have bought so many books in our married life I just can't imagine that kind of reading electronically. I love the covers of those books! I also think that having books that children can sit down and flip through helps them learn to love reading.
K - so here are some I read during 2011 that I loved:
Seven Miracles That Saved America: Why They Matter and Why We Should Have Hope
How to Be Lovely: The Audrey Hepburn Way of Life
What the Scriptures Teach Us about Raising a Child
A Heart Like His
No Doubt About It
Way to Be
Ella Minnow Pea
I was talking with a lady in my neighborhood whose daughter's name is Scout, like in "To Kill a Mockingbird," and I think it's time to read that one again!
