2016 Reading List
Just a listing of what I've been reading and/or listening to in the first half of this year:
January
Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor
Isaac's Storm by Erik Larson
The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by Stephen King
Faithful Place by Tana French
February
McSweeney's Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Stories edited by Michael Chabon
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon
March
Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry
The Proud Tower by Barbara Tuchman
The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut
April
The Cartel by Don Winslow
The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger by Stephen King
Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff
The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner
May
The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor
The Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King
The Bully Pulpit Doris Kearns Goodwin
A Futile and Stupid Gesture: How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever
by Josh Karp
Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
June
City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin
True Grit by Clinton Portis
Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick
the Sex Lives of Cannibals by J. Maarten Troost
The Union of the State by Corey Stulce
-------
A couple of notes:
I made an attempt at David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest during February and March. I made it a little less than halfway through before losing steam, and getting distracted by "real life." 2016 has been a rough year for working. I joke about working like a botard sometimes. We've been shorthanded for one reason or another it seems like this whole year. Winter and Spring of this early year made reading more difficult than an Entertainment Weekly article daunting. it was disappointing, because that part of the year was generally the easy part of the year, at least in terms of free time. I'll give Jest another try, perhaps next year.
I also started, but didn't finish Joe Lansdale's Paradise Sky. I may try again down the road.
