Books of 2012 (so far)

Hello,

I finished reading the 52^nd book, so I can now release the list. Not that it’s been a secret or anything; if someone has asked to see it, I’ve shown it to them. It just hasn’t been published anywhere except my account on Evernote. So, without further ado, here’s the list:

The list is sorted alphabetically by the author's last name, so it’s not in the order I read them.

I’ll go back and put links to my “reviews” as I write them. For some of the series, I’ll probably write a “review” for the entirety of the series rather than the individual books. It’s just easier that way for everyone. Well, mostly me.

Welcome Back

Hello,

I used to write things here. Then I got this crazy notion that I didn't wish to be searchable on the Internets. This crazy notion caused the deletion of most things linked to my name. Now, I'm not saying I'm any saner now than I was then, and I promise nothing in the realm of regularity. However, I feel that I may have some thoughts or feelings that require more than 160 characters and want to post them somewhere other than segmented on Twitter (@philliphgreene if you care).

One thing that I definitely feel that I will be doing is something with books. I challenged myself to read a book a week this year, and I have already completed that a few months early. Therefore, I have a lot to say about the books that I have read (or at least a little to say about each book). I haven't actually finished the 52nd book at this particular moment, but it will be shortly forthcoming. A list of the books I have read this year will probably be the next post when I have the opportunity.
