This has been an abysmal year for me in terms of pleasure reading: I read a mere 18 books. The reason for this low count is that I’ve spent the entire year researching and then writing my dissertation, which I hope to finish up in early 2011. So I’m looking forward to 2011 being a better reading year for me.
Here are the best of those 18 books that I read this year (listed alphabetically by author):
- Bradley, Alan. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
- Brooks, Geraldine. People of the Book
- Lamb, Wally. I Know This Much Is True
- Lamb, Wally. Wishin’ and Hopin’
- Larsson, Stieg. The Girl Who Played with Fire
- Larsson, Stieg. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest
- Skloot, Rebecca. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
