2009 Reading Booklist

A 2009 reading list so I can keep track of what I'd like to read next year as well as what actually gets read. I suspect that the trashy books about zombies will get read before anything actually thought provoking.

If anyone has any suggestions/book recs, I'd love to hear them. Or if there's something on the list that you think totally sucks and is a waste of time, I'd love to hear that too. I already know that Twilight sucks, but it's still on there because I'm deeply curious about why people seem to have kittens when they wank about this book.

I'd like to do something different this year and start reading more non fiction, but I'm pretty much open to reading any genre of fiction or any subject of non-fiction. Also, I'm looking for good sci-fi story recommendations (for myself) or awesome young adult recommendations since my nieces and nephews are all about the age where they've grown out of picture books and I like to spoil them. I'd prefer young adult books that are interesting enough for adults to read too, since I'm leery of handing over a book to a kid without knowing what's actually in there. ( Read more... )
