2013 Reading List

[innerslytherin]

So last year I read 64 books, 7 of them non-fiction. I can't seem to break that 10 non-fiction books barrier. Maybe this year. Of course, I did read a lot of white papers for work, and some of them were almost book-length. And I have been working my way through another non-fiction book for work, but I haven't finished it yet. Oh well.

If you haven't read them already, I strongly recommend

A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson

The Wreck of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick

Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed

Stiff by Mary Roach, and everything else by her

Devil in the White City (okay, I couldn't hack my way past the endless drone of Chicago architecture -- so much so that I never found out what the book was REALLY ABOUT. But so many people love the damned thing, even high school kids who have it as an assignment in my library suburb, that I say skip the whole beginning and GET ON TO THE GORY DETAILS. I had to look the guy up on Wikipedia to find out what a horror story this book actually was, after yet another person raved about it.

City of Falling Angels by John Berendt

Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain

I used to read a lot more nonfiction, but I used to read a lot more books in general, too. Fanfic took over most of my life a long time ago, and then came The Avengers.
