This year I decided to spend a lot more time reading as a form of leisure. I usually only read non-fiction books, but because I wanted to enjoy reading as a replacement for TV I shifted my selection to include a lot more fiction.
- Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
by Robert M. Pirsig - Swell by Liz Clark
- Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
- Boy by Roald Dahl
- Going Solo by Roald Dahl
- Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel
- Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
- Let My People Go Surfing by Yvon Chouinard
- The Call of the Wild by Jack London
- Barbarian Days by William Finnegan
- Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
- The Buddha Walks Into a Bar by Lodro Rinsler
- Animal Farm by George Orwell
- The Atlantis Plague by A. G. Riddle
- The Everything Store by Brad Stone
- Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
- Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
As someone who never really read a lot when I was younger, I am quite proud of the number of books that I finished this year (although there were a lot of other books that I started and did not finish). I can say without a doubt that it is the largest number of books I have ever read in a year.
