Listy!

For the past few years, I've been keeping tracks of books I've read and movies I've watched. On the off chance that anyone cares, or would care to make fun of my taste in books or movies (or, of course, the usual lameness of things I have not read or seen), following is a pig-alphabetized list of each for 2005.
