...well, sort of.
2005 was the year I first started listing down what I read, but I limited that only to novels and collections I read straight through.
For 2006, I did a master list of every single thing I read for pleasure. I'll have to fix the format before posting, which I may do so on my LJ, with a link to the relevant entries over here.
For now, though I need to re-count to verify, I think my 2006 reading consisted of:
+++++
It's been a great reading year, with hardly a clunker. Even the two or three I could think of as coming close to that category weren't bad per se but just a bit disappointing. They certainly weren't wastes of time that will dissuade me from checking out other works by those authors.
I did start one book I didn't finish, but it wasn't for its lack of quality but rather my decision to drop it and read something else I promised to finally do so before my birthday.
(And yes, I do feel a bit "guilty" for abandoning The Night Country for House of Leaves.)
I did a lot of catch-up on authors whose works I've liked before but whose works I've only read a paltry few, at least until this year, most prominent of which were Ramsey Campbell, Caitlin R. Kiernan, and Peter Straub.
At the same time, I got into new genres (and authors) as well, "discovering" new favorites. Alastair Reynolds and Iain M. Banks for science fiction and John Le Carre for espionage fiction, to name just three.
+++++
I also acquired 150 titles. Most were bought, either brand-new or second-hand. Some were gifts and/or contest prizes, including titles from last year but which I only actually got in 2006.

For now, though I need to re-count to verify, I think my 2006 reading consisted of:
10 comic book titles
(This ranges from prestige-format one-shots to three-issue limited series to a fifty-plus-issue story arc. Not very systematic list-making, I know!)
145 short stories
(A whole lot of re-reads but a chunk of new ones--but I excluded some that I read from an anthology or collection that I plan to read whole eventually.)
78 books finished
(This gets tricky and I end up "cheating," since I finished some of these books by finally going through, say, the last two stories unread since I began reading them...years ago.)
