Some memes you just cannot resist. I saw this one on Bernadette´s and Crimefictionreader´s blogs yesterday and today on Maxine´s. First I thought it would be difficult, but in fact it was far too easy. So easy that I could not help adding two or three answers to several of them. (Or perhaps I just read too much?)
The rules: try to use only books you have read in 2009.

Norman, this is indeed fun! :D
I did this one yesterday, though the version that I did seems to have slightly different questions than yours:

It comes off sounding a bit ominous with a preponderance of crime fiction titles, doesn't it!?
I'll save this for when I need a blog post. I like this one.
Kate, I admit I come off as somewhat glum - but that is just us Scandinavians ;)
I will rush off to take a look at yours.
Beth, I agree this is a good one to have in hand for an uninspired day - if you ever have one of those. First I thought it would be difficult, but it was ever so fun to go through my reviews, looking for the right kind of answers.
This is an interesting idea, Dorte. It does look a little scary for me right now, though...I'm wondering if my brain still functions well enough to remember bits from the books I read this year!
Elizabeth
I did one too. It was fun. http://reactionstoreading.wordpress.com/2009/08/30/my-life-according-to-the-books-ive-read-this-year/
Elizabeth, I admit that for people who don´t know me, my answers may look sinister! It is just tar-black, Scandinavian humour when it is worst ;)
I didn´t try to remember what I had read; I skimmed my backup of all my reviews, and enjoyed filling in the slots together with my youngest daughter. (She is 19, so don´t worry; I have already corrupted her).
Bernadette, I know.
If you notice the very first line of my post, I have put a link to your answers :D
