It's that time of the year again where I finally stop blowing off blogging and write something. I should really whip up a script to do this since it's using the Goodreads API. Then I'd never touch my blogging software again!
So, withtout futher ado, in reverse chronological order, the 29 books I read in 2013:
- Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
- Oryx and Crake (MaddAddam Trilogy, #1) by Margaret Atwood

- The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon
- The Keep by Jennifer Egan
- Programming Erlang by Joe Armstrong
- Under the Dome by Stephen King
- Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman by Jon Krakauer

Books I enjoyed this year were Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis (you could say that 2013 was the Year of Connie Willis for me...she's great!), Telegraph Avenue by Michael Chabon and The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway.
Oh, and Beloved. Jeez that book was crazy good. I might read it again in 2014.
