Reading List 2012


Okay, for anyone interested, here are the books that i read/reread/listened to in 2012. The book that i was reading when i left Connecticut, "Starman" by Paul Trynka, belonging to the New Haven Free Public Library, remains unfinished. The ARVRLS doesn't possess a copy. I plan on buying a copy this year, finishing it and then donating it. I am still reading "Gone With the Wind" and listening to "The Execution of Sherlock Holmes". My book total this year was 46, down about 12 from last year. I attribute this to the fact that my commute no longer consists of an hour-long drive, but of a walk from my living room to my bedroom. The really kind of embarrassing part for me is that i only read/listened to SIX non-fiction books, down THIRTY-ONE from last year. I guess i can only attribute that to the fact that this was a year of transition for me, so i just wanted to challenge myself less than usual. I'm sure that i'll get back up to where i was. That leaves 40 works of fiction, up 19 from last year. Here's my list, title and author. Relativity Albert Einstein The Loner: Inferno J. A. Johnstone Muhammad: A Story of the Last Prophet Deepak Chopra 11/22/63 Stephen King Alvin Maker 4: Alvin Journeyman Orson Scott Card Blockade Billy Stephen King I Didn't Ask to be Born, But I'm Glad That I Was Bill Cosby The Loner J.
