2010 Reads in Covers (by Liviu Suciu)

Using the marvelous Goodreads and it's sorting/display capabilities plus an image grabber, I decided to do a collage of the 244 books I've read this year sorted by rating.

    Wow.
    And thank you for sharing.
    It must have taken a lot of work for this post.

    A visually stunning post! Thank you for all the time this must have taken...and for reminding me that there are several you have listed here that I really want to read.

    Thank you for your kind words; the cover arrangement is from Goodreads and my list of "books read in 2010" ordered by rating.

    I just grabbed it with software in chunks that are screen size and only fiddled with the last to make one piece out of two and then with the html in the post to make sure they are shown at the max size for FBC's layout which is 600 pixels in width; the picture themselves have 800+ pixels in width so clicking on them enlarges them a little.

    When I discovered this feature of Goodreads which you can do to any lists there ( yours or others) and in any order allowed by them including your own customized one by "rank" for your own listed books, I was impressed and once in a while I admire book covers like this, so i thought it would be cool to show one
