| May 6, 2006 | Alexander McCall Smith, The Kalahari Typing School for Men | |
| June 24, 2006 | Thomas L. Friedman, The World is Flat, A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century | |
| June 27th, 2006 | Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner | Fantastic read. Heartbreaking story, wonderful imagery. Makes you wonder how much of this is autobiographical. |
| June 28th, 2006 | Janet Evanovich, Twelve Sharp | You know, after book 11 I said I was done. Heho talked me into it, and I enjoyed it. Less of resting on the same tricks, more development of Ranger. |
| July 8th, 2006 | Carl Honore, In Praise of Slow | Considering where I am with my job, and posts I made last week, this was totally appropriate. I really enjoyed and think I'll have to review it every couple of months to make sure I'm on track. |
| July 5th, 2006 | Phil Jenkins, An Acre of Time | Very cool look at the 'usage' of an acre of the Lebreton Flats. I wonder what that acre looks like now with the War Museum being built? |
| July 17th, 2006 | Dean Koontz, Velocity | |
| July 19th, 2006 | David Baldacci, Hour Game | |
| July 22, 2006 | Sophie Kinsella, Can You Keep a Secret? | |
| July 21, 2006 | Jonathan & Faye Kellerman, Double Homicide, Santa Fe and Boston | |
| August 12, 2006 | Tori Carrington, Sofie Metropolis | Nice light read, not quite up to par with earlier Plum novels (who they obviously love) but would read another in the series |
| October 8, 2006 | Kathy Reichs, Break No Bones | Seems she's got the formula down pat. Actually there was more of Tempe's personal life in this one, and it was much shorter on the science/lab work. |
| November 1, 2006 | Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot | Finally! |
| November 12, 2006 | Al Franken, The Truth, with Jokes | |
| November 13, 2006 | Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises | |
| November 14, 2006 | Kathy Reichs, Cross Bones | Interesting, I'd like to learn more of the history behind this one. She either needs to really work on her 'romantic' dialog or ditch it. |
| November 20, 2006 | Malcolm Gladwell, The Tipping Point | |
| November 24, 2006 | Sue Grafton, L is for Lawless | The usual fluff. Fun weekend read. |
| November 25, 2006 | Sue Grafton, M is for Malice | Dammit I'd already read this one! But read it again for refresher |
| November 28, 2006 | Alexander McCall Smith, The Full Cupboard of Life | |
| November 30, 2006 | Alexander McCall Smith, In the Company of Cheerful Ladies | |
| December 31, 2006 | Joseph Heath, The Efficient Society | Interesting beginning and end, several hundred pages of filler in the middle. Redundant, like someone trying to pad a thesis. |
