I'm sitting in Gladstone's Library, a residential library established by the former British prime minister in Hawarden, Wales. There are comfortable chairs, and if I look out the right window I can see snow covered valleys bathed in winter sunlight. Jolie is next to me sketching the room. What better place to share the books I've read this year.
- Getting Things Done, David Allen (reread)
- Wild Cards: Aces High, George R. R. Martin, ed.
- Solar Labyrinth: Exploring Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun, Robert Borski
- The Right Nation: Why America is Different, John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge
- Moon Over Soho, Ben Aaronovitch
- Whispers Under Ground, Ben Aaronovitch
- The Daylight War, Peter V. Brett
- Will You Be My Facebook Friend, Tim Chester
- Crazy Love, Francis Chan
- Breakfast of Champions, Kurt Vonnegut (reread)
- I Will Teach You To Be Rich, Ramit Sethi
- Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
- Distrust that Particular Flavor, William Gibson
I realize I'm late to the party on this one, but *Anna Karenina* is an
amazing book. Even the boring stuff about farming was a pleasure to
read. The only thing I didn't like very much was the ending with Levin.
