Yeah, it's a little late, but awards season is making me think of the books and stories I read last year. So, better late than never, right? According to Goodreads, I read 36 books last year. I know that's not an accurate representation - some of those were books I abandoned, skimmed or dipped into for research. On the other hand, I read a lot of short fiction which is mostly not represented in that number. Long fiction: The real standout reads for long fiction were: The Windup Girl, Reamde, Zoo City, Wool Omnibus and World War Z. Yeah, that's almost 1/6 of the books I read. What can I say, I have a lot of books to choose from and I try to read stuff that I think will be great.
