Books Read in 2012

Posted on 04:00 by blogger
For a number of years now, I've kept a list of every book I've read. I don't list anything more than the title and the author, but it's still fascinating to go back and see what I read in a particular year. (And how much I read!) So before we get too far into 2013, I thought I would list all the books I read (or in some cases, re-read) in 2012. Here they are in chronological order:
