I heard somewhere this year that the average American reads 17 books per year… I’m highly skeptical. Seems like an awfully high number to me. Unfortunately, I’ve been cursed with a passion for reading but do so at a snail’s pace. I did not meet my quota for this year, but would like to think that I had some interesting reads. Mostly fiction this year for some reason. Well, here’s my list:
Go Ask Alice (214pp)
The Book of Drugs – Mike Doughty (252pp)
The Prophet – Kahlil Gibran (96pp)
The Clockwork Universe, Issac Newton, the Royal Society, and the Birth of the Modern World – Edward Dolnick (387pp)
Ready Player One – Ernest Cline (374pp)
Lying – Sam Harris (Kindle e-book)
How I Killed Pluto and Why it Had it Coming – Mike Brown (271pp)
Nocturnal – Scott Sigler (567pp)
The Wind Through the Keyhole – Stephen King (309pp)
The House of God – Samuel Shem (380pp)
Help! A Bear is Eating Me! – Mykle Hansen (129pp)
Fahrenheit 451 – Ray Bradbury (176pp)
Xkcd volume 0 – Randall Munroe (111001pp…lol)
The Dog Stars – Peter Heller (320pp)
12.21 – Dustin Thomason (324pp)
Redshirts – John Scalzi (317pp)
Thanksgiving. How to Cook it Well – Sam Sifton (125pp)
