What I read in 2010
I always feel like I don’t spend enough time reading. My Amazon wishlists grow much faster than I can read. I have 18 unread books on my iPad, and 7 or 8 paper books I need to read.
Looking back on the year I ended up reading 21 books. Some that have been on my “to read” list for years, and others that just recently came out. I am not going to give reviews of them because I mostly find reviews worthless. All the books I read this year were good. Some were great, others just good, but none of them were bad. Here is the list in no particular order:
- Columbine by Dave Cullen
- Andromeda Klein by Frank Portman
- The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich
- Shootin’ the Sh*t with Kevin Smith by Kevin Smith
- SuperFreakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
- Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
- Bonk by Mary Roach
- Welcome to Your Brain by Sam Wang and Sandra Aamodt
- Spook by Mary Roach
- What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell
- The Bedwetter by Sarah Silverman
- When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth by Cory Doctorow
- Hitch-22 by Christopher Hitchens
- Open by Andre Agassi
- How We Decide by Jonah Lehrer
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
- Storm World by Chris Mooney
- Bad Astronomy by Philip Plait
- Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom
- Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew Crawford
- The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking
One of my goals every year it to try and read more. We will see this time next year if I accomplished that.
