I love to read, and I’ve decided to keep a list of all the books I read. That said, I read much less this year than I usually do. Of all the books I read in 2012, I think I would only recommend a few. Most were fun to read, but not fantastic. I would recommend Snowcrash, by Neal Stephenson. And now I definitely want to read more of his work!
I think this is the full list…
Books I Read in 2012
- The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins (trilogy)
- Lord of the Rings, by J. R. R. Tolkein (trilogy)
- Passages, by Gail Sheehy
- Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides
- Snowcrash, by Neal Stephenson
- The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, by Patrick Lencioni
- Franny and Zooey, by J. D. Salinger
- From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, by E. L. Konigsburg
- Delirium, by Lauren Oliver
- Matched, by Ally Condie
- The Hero and The Crown, by Robin McKinley
- Fablehaven, by Branden Mull
- The Dresden Files, by Jim Butcher (two books from the series)
- A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper, by Diablo Cody
- Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (about half of them)
Only ~20 books in 12 months? I barely qualify as a bibliophile. Oof.
And which one was your favorite??
I think Snowcrash. I love Sherlock Holmes, but I couldn’t choose one favorite out of all the shorts I read. But I highly recommend Snowcrash, particularly to anyone who enjoys sci-fi/fantasy, or just a well written, fast-paced, technology-driven story.
