Good list, is this everything you read this year? Ranked as faves?
It's everything I read in 2011, split out by genre, in the order in which it was read. I've kept track of what I read since 2002 (and have posted the year-end list on my blog since 2008). I figured if I logged the books, then it would help motivate me to read more.
The non-fiction highlights last year were definitely the last four books. All are must reads!
I'm obviously not a big fiction reader, but enjoyed all four of them... with a special nod to Flowers for Algernon -- a re-read for me that still packs such an amazing emotional punch.
As for the comics, the Walking Dead hardcovers are as strong as ever, I Kill Giants blew me away, Y: The Last Man finished strong, and it was great to revisit classics from my childhood like the Simonson Thor Omni, Secret Wars, X-Men, and Gruenwald's Hawkeye! Best collected edition I read last year, though, was American Vampire. Flat out amazing.
That Duff McKagan book looks interesting, I was a big G&R fan back then.
I'd like to read more Star Wars books, but it seems too overwhelming at this point. I do have the 1st Zahn trilogy I'd like to re-read.
I thought Am. Vampire was great, too. I've been leaning toward reading more from my collection, and some classics I've never read.
