Reading List 2009

Another year, another list of what I have read over the course of the last twelve months!  Per usual, books are divided into the categories of fiction and non-fiction (with a poetry add-on), are listed in date order (the earlier the reading date, the nearer the top of the list), and in instances in which I wrote a review or made comments over at GoodReads, I’ve included the link.

Looking back at the list, it’s interesting for me to see patterns that emerge.  Nearly all of the non-fiction is foundation texts for my continuing thesis work.  (Notice any themes?  I notice lots of titles with colons in them -- a sure sign of fancy academic writing.)  And for the most part, items on the fiction list were my momentary retreats from the chaos of daily life, so of course there is a ton of YA lit and graphic novels, including a handful of rereads.
