It’s time for my 2012 book summary. This is always a
fun exercise; it’s like viewing photos from your vacation. “Yea, that was a
real cool place”, or “It wasn’t what I expected”, or whatever. (I really wouldn’t
have a “this was a dump” memory because I would probably have never started
such a book and I certainly wouldn’t have finished it.). As the title indicates,
this list reflects books that I have finished this past year. As usual, I have
done a lot of reading on-line, which I now track on my Twitter feed or in Readability. These are wonderful
tools for tracking and sharing reading. In addition, Abbas introduced me to Goodreads. It's a program for tracking your lifetime reading, planned, in
progress, and completed. I recommend it. But enough musing and on the list. I
will list books in no special order. Most of them I’ve written about before, so
I’ll cite my own reviews. Others, because of my delinquencies, I’ve reviewed in this blog, so I’ll mark it for a future blog. I’ll list my
favorites at the end.

Interesting list. Did you notice that you have no female authors on the list? (At least as far as I can tell). Looks like you need to branch out a little in 2013! A couple of my favorites for 2012 were Beverly Silver's "Forces of Labor," Frances Fukuyama's "The Origins of Political Order," "Little Bee" by Chris Cleave, The Hunger Games trilogy, and 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
