I do this EVERY year
I get bogged down in my book list mid-year and then have to post them all at once the last week of December. This year it was Daddy's hospitalization with pneumonia in July which got me off track. He's doing fine now, BTW.
This list does not include titles that I have not yet completed, or magazines, or children's books read to Sophie that are not chapter books.
I'll just do links right now, and come back and edit in reviews later, time permitting and if I feel like it.
33. Secret Recipes for the Modern Wife: All the Dishes You'll Need to Make from the Day You Say "I Do" Until Death (or Divorce) Do You Part, by Nava Atlas. PS: This is not really a cookbook.
34. Too fast for love: Heavy Metal portraits, by David Yellen, intro by Chuck Klosterman
35. The Messiah Formerly Known as Jesus: Dispatches from the Intersection of Christianity and Pop Culture, by Tom Breen.
36. How Did You Get This Number?, by Sloane Crosley. Entertaining.
37. You Never Give Me Your Money: The Beatles After The Breakup, by Peter Doggett. VERY entertaining.
38. Runner's World Complete Book of Running: Everything You Need to Run for Weight Loss, Fitness, and Competition, by Amby Burfoot and the editors of Runner's World magazine.
39. 4 Months To A 4-Hour Marathon, by Dave Kuehls. Thought it might have some good tips for half-marathoning.
40. Cookin' with Coolio: 5 Star Meals at a 1 Star Price , by Coolio. This is the most freaking hilarious cookbook I have ever read in my life.
41. Talking to Girls About Duran Duran: One Young Man's Quest for True Love and a Cooler Haircut, by Rob Sheffield. Good. Recommended.
42. Scott Pilgrim Volume 6: Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour, by Brian Lee O'Malley. Now I guess I have to go back and read Scott Pilgrim Nos 1-5.
43. Cassette From My Ex: Stories and Soundtracks of Lost Loves, by Jason Bitner. VERY good. TOTALLY recommended.
44. Tommyland, by Tommy Lee and Anthony Bozza. Oh Lord. This book is short-attention-span theatre, jumping from one topic to another with the greatest of ease. Linear storytelling? Doesn't exist in Tommyland. And also, large parts of it are ghost-written by Tommy's penis.
45. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis. (Linked to the edition I own...BTW, did you know Fenris Ulf's name does not stay Fenris Ulf in later editions of the book, but instead changes to Maugrim? I did not know that until day before yesterday!) I read this one out loud to Sophie in chapters at night. She really enjoyed it. She enjoyed Prince Caspian far less, and we've given up on it and moved on to other titles.
More coming soon.
