Reading List 2008

I’ve been keeping track of the books I read for a couple of years now. I really enjoy being able to look back at what I’ve read in the past. Here’s my list from 2008, ordered latest read to oldest read because Goodreads ordered it that way, and I’m too lazy to switch it around:

• The Raven and Other Favorite Poems – Poe, Edgar Allan
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Long Way Home – Whedon, Joss
• A Clash of Kings – Martin, George R.R.
• Howl and Other Poems – Ginsberg, Allen
• The Stupidest Angel – Moore, Christopher
• Fragile Things – Gaiman, Neil
• Astonishing X-Men Vol. 4: Unstoppable – Whedon, Joss
• Sunken Treasure – Wheaton, Wil
• You Suck: A Love Story – Moore, Christopher
• JPod - Coupland, Douglas
• The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories – Burton, Tim
• Coraline - Gaiman, Neil
• Long Way Down - McGregor, Ewan
• Squee’s Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors - Vasquez, Jhonen
• Casino Royale - Fleming, Ian
• Can-cans, Cats and Cities of Ash - Twain, Mark
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Rowling, J.K.
• Breakfast of Champions - Jr., Kurt Vonnegut
• Guilty Pleasures - Hamilton, Laurell K.
• A Dirty Job – Moore, Christopher
• A Spot of Bother – Haddon, Mark
• Choke - Palahniuk, Chuck

That’s not even two books a month, and that includes a few graphic novels and novellas. I hope to raise that number this year, but it hasn’t been a good start so far. I need to set aside a little time in the evening to read, instead of waiting until I’m in bed and falling asleep.

I’m currently reading Terry Pratchett’s Maskerade, and I’m really enjoying it so far. It’s been ages since I read a Discworld novel, so it’s nice to reenter that strange world. I picked up Fool on my way home today, so that’s definitely been bumped up to the top of the priority queue. At the very least, I’m certainly never short of something to read!
