“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn’t carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”
- Stephen King
Well, good grief, here's this years list, such as it is. It's not one of my best lists, quite frankly. It's rather short (for me) and there's not a single Non-Fiction title finished, though the partials listed below I highly recommend. Mostly what I seemed to read this year was webcomics (but I'll admit to spending hours on Tumblr, much to my shame). I also spent a lot of time reading blogs at lunch rather than my usual book, for reasons I cannot really explain.
