Turns out I've been delinquent about this for a while now... Lets see how much I can reconstruct, separating 2014 and 2015:
The Broken Eye, Brent Weeks
Cryptonomicon, Neal Stephenson
The Slow Regard of Silent Things, Patrick Rothfuss
Quicksilver, Neal Stephenson
Independent Study,Joelle Charbonneau
Beyond the Shadows, Brent Weeks
Shadows Edge, Brent Weeks
The Testing, Joelle Charbonneau
Graduation Day, Joelle Charbonneau
Never Let Me Go, Kazou Ishiguro
I'm not going to comment on all of these,there's just too many. I think I'm also missing a couple from when I was in Israel over December/January and using a tablet for reading.
In brief:
-Brent Weeks' Night Angel trilogy is fantastic. I enjoyed it and you will too, if you're at least a little into fantasy.
-Cryptonomicon was great and interesting. Readers will enjoy it, especially those who like math. Quicksilver was somewhat less entertaining.
-Don't bother with Joelle Charbonneau's books. They're trash.
-Never Let Me Go is great and haunting. Readers will enjoy it.
And now for the annual counting-of-books-I've-read...
I only come up with 27! I'm going to blame it on first year of grad school, although probably I'm just making excuses. Here's hoping I get to do more reading this coming year!
See the post labelled '0-Explanation of Classification' to see how I've organized the books according to types of readers who might like them!
I've been posting the name and a blurb about every book I've read since January 2011. I hope that eventually this blog will be a place I can send friends who ask me what they should read next.
