2008 Summary

This was a year for reading deeply into a few authors new to me. George RR Martin's series, mentioned earlier; Diana Gabaldon's series, also previously noted; Jim Butcher's wizard detective series; and now I am working my way through all of the backstock of Susan Howach, some of which are related to each other, and some which are not.

One benefit of working one's way through the books of an established author is that it comes with little cost - I have been affected by the economy as most people have, and have now returned to my local library as a source of reading material rather than spending a lot to buy new books.

In sum, I have read 69 books this year - well above the goal of 52 annually.

Other authors read this year: Jeffery Deaver, David Edding, Jonathan Kellerman, Robert Hughes, and Robert Ludlum.
