Booking it
In no particular order, all the books I read in 2011.
A bunch by Orson Scott Card:
Pathfinder
The Lost Gate
Shadow of the Hegemon (Ender series, book 6)
Shadow Puppets (Ender series, book 7)
Shadow of the Giant (Ender series, book 8)
Maps in a Mirror
(I have an addiction. I'm getting help.)
Graceling, Kristin Cashore
Fire, Kristin Cashore
Omnitopia Dawn, Diane Duane
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Junot Diaz
Great House, Nicole Krauss
Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood
Bluebeard's Egg, Margaret Atwood
The Name of the Wind, Patrick Rothfuss
The Wise Man's Fear, Patrick Rothfuss
Ready Player One, Ernest Cline
Atonement, Ian McEwan
Saturday, Ian McEwan
Solar, Ian McEwan
The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives, Leonard Mlodinow
The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way, Bill Bryson
The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring, Richard Preston
The Living Great Lakes: Searching for the Heart of the Inland Seas, Jerry Dennis
Mermaid: A Twist on a Classic Tale, Caroline Turgeon
One For the Money, Janet Evanovich
The Night Circus, Erin Morgenstern
Sati, Christopher Pike
The Bean Trees, Barbara Kingsolver
Habits of Change: An Oral History of American Nuns, Carole Rogers
The Great American Stickup: How Reagan Republicans and Clinton Democrats Enriched Wall Street While Mugging Main Street, Robert Scheer
I read four of the books for academic reasons, but all the others were for pleasure. Right now I'm reading both Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen, on my Kindle) and The Lacuna (Barbara Kingsolver, on paper). My New Year's resolution? Read just as much next year.
