Reading List 2012
I did a lot of reading this year. A few of these are re-reads like the George R.R. Martin books--I need a character chart for those books. More audio this year although I failed to note all books I read by listening. A few standouts this year--not necessarily books published this year but books I finally got around to reading. Mostly genre fiction but some literary fiction, fiction and non-fiction in the bunch. If you'd like to hear what I think about any of these books, just ask.
