I thought this would be a really neat idea, especially come the end of this year. Basically, the idea is to record each book that you have completed during the year of 2012. The books could have been read for school or for pleasure, but you must have finished reading the entire book (excluding notes and bibliographies). Note the name of the book and the author in list form. Update your original post in this thread each time you finish a book.

Let's see how big our reading lists are by the end of this year. ^.^

I need some good books to read guys. I'm sorta weary on the popular best seller things. Last time I picked one up it was Shanghai Girls and I was very disappointed with it. Actually, now that I think about it that happens a lot. Some of them are very plainly written and too easy.

Edited on 11/24/12

I love Lise See's books, but Shanghai Girls disappointed me, too. I'd suggest Peony in Love or Snowflower and the Secret fan, if you wanted to try that author again.

My book lists are always sort of silly because I pick things up at random and read them. xD

Reading:
Xu Bing and Comtemporary Chinese Art
and another Xu Bing book whose name I just... can't... remember. Will edit once I'm at school.
Yakuza Moon - will start reading once it arrives!

I do remember finishing The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest and writing an angry review of it on Amazon.com because of the obviously ignorant opinion of mental illness that Steig Larson had.

I wish I had read more books this year, but graduate school has me reading a lot of articles, instead.
