2012 Books I Read


My 2012 reading list in reverse order...
I must admit that I've not yet finished Wanderings. It's a "cannot fall asleep tonight" special.
  • Surprise of the Year: Ender's Game (read before I heard about the upcoming movie)
  • Guilty Pleasure: Robert Parker's Jesse Stone series
  • Disappointing: Myth of the Rational Market - the writing doesn't live up to the title; the author is more intent on making a point than sharing history, ending up doing neither terribly well.
  1. Screwtape Letters - C.S. Lewis
  2. Life of Pi - Yann Martel
  3. The Alchemyst - Michael Scott
  4. Trouble in Paradise - Robert Parker
  5. The Myth of the Rational Market - Justin Fox
  6. Rutherford B. Hayes - Hans Trefousse
  7. Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
  8. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - Jules Verne
  9. The Godfather Papers and Other Confessions - Mario Puzo
  10. Che Guevara: In Search of Revolution - Calvin Miller
  11. Omerta - Mario Puzo
  12. Murder on the Links - Agatha Christie
  13. Wanderings: Chaim Potok's History of the Jews
  14. The Naked Gospel - Andrew Farley
