Bout this time every year I publish the health related books that I read over the course of the last year. This has been a practice of mine since the beginning of this blog. I don't know why I do it, I just do. I read slightly fewer books this year than normal, but only because for the first time this year I spent a ton of time perusing other blogs. In particular, http://www.wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/, http://www.raypeat.com/, http://www.scottabel.blogspot.com/, http://www.cheeseslave.com/, http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/cholesterol-blog.html, http://nutrition-and-physical-regeneration.com/blog/, http://www.livingthenourishedlife.com/, and many others, some of which I became infamous for visiting. My favorite of late is http://www.carbsanity.blogspot.com/, which is pretty amazing considering that the author of the blog is on a low-carb diet.
Anyway, here are the books I read in 2010. Note, a couple, such as the Leangains Guide and Legends of Bodybuilding are not actually books. The good ones - those that I found to be most influential that is (this is not an Oprah book list) are highlighted in RED.

Next year's reading list is going to be legendary. I've already got 80-90 titles lined up and plan on spending a lot LESS time perusing blogs in the upcoming year. At the end of the day, books are better. They are a culmination of certain people's overall conclusions that they've come to after decades of research and experience all consolidated into one organized, typically easy to read format. And I get to read them AWAY from the computer, which is key for my own personal health and sanity.
If there's a book out there you suspect I haven't read and really think that I should, please include it in the comments section below and I promise to get to it. Maybe not this year, but certainly by the end of next year. Anything that is remotely tied to health, nutrition, eating disorders, psychology, new agey stuff, and so forth is fair game.
