105 Books

[ensignpavel]

This year I managed 105 books, mostly due to the multitasking power of audiobooks. 39 of those 105 books were "read" while doing other things.

My 100th book was The Child Thief by Brom (no first name) - a darker, more interesting version of Peter Pan. I started reading another of his books immediately after but found I couldn't take quite that

Back when I was in Eugene and had access to a really good public library, an inordinately large number of the books I read were based on people who came on the Daily Show and/or Colbert Report. I didn't read the "Psychopath Test," but that sounds interesting. I did read a book called "The Dictator's Handbook" which has had a really pervasive effect on how I view political activity now. It's weird how convincing it is. Another recommendation from Stewart/Colbert was "Popular Crime," by Bill James. That book was AWESOME! I totally could not put it down. But I also find things like crime stories very interesting, which is not a universal. It's also non-fiction. I was surprised how when given all the options of the local library in Eugene, I ended up reading a lot more non-fiction than fiction, even though I'm more of a fiction reader in general. I fee that with fiction, I want a recommendation from someone I know. With non-fiction, I'll read the book based on whether I find the subject interesting

Will do! Any of the above sound good? Or last year's? Or any in particular you've been wanting to read? I might as well send ones you're most likely to like :)
