Reading List

I'm going to start a new reading list for the next year. In all I read 27 books over the last year, which averages out to about one every 2 weeks. Of course, I read 4 books over the Christmas holidays which were only 2 weeks long, so it didn't quite work out evenly - I'm finding that I read non-fiction much slower than fiction.

I'm putting my reading list from the last year here for reference.
  • - The Exalted Company of Roadside Martyrs - Warren Cariou

Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: Was this book stolen from me like 5 years ago? I think it was. I'm so coming over there and taking it back. Oh now you're scared...
