The great book post
Jan. 5th, 2010 10:08 pmOnce again, the books I've read from 2009.
( Lots of books )
Not as many as last year - I'd been trying for 125, which just didn't happen. Ah well. A lot more history and sociology than in the past, for some reason. Also, at least three or four that I really really liked up until the last ten pages, when story suddenly went pfft. (Multiple times, I had that sinking feeling you get when you realize there just aren't enough pages left to wrap everything up in anything approaching a satisfactory matter.) Also several things I pulled off the shelf completely randomly, in genres I don't ordinarily read, that I loved.
If you want recommendations, let me know.
