Books of 2011

This year, I read 15 books and discovered eight new authors.

To be honest, I'm not happy with my reading list this year. I managed to finish a disappointingly low number of books, although some were quite challenging, like Sometimes a Great Notion. Still, taking three months to finish a book is unacceptably long! Another book that took me too long to read was Dubliners by James Joyce, which I thoroughly disliked. Following my rule of not abandoning boring books, I ended up feeling trapped by my own principles. You know the situation.
