Listed below are the books I read last year, in the order that I read them. All of those marked with an asterisk I would read again. The others were good, just not worth a second reading.
Unlike other years, there were no bad books. None that were a waste of time in reading. The Great Gatsby was the most disappointing. It is considered one of the great novels of the last century but I just did not see what was so compelling about it. Nice story but one I will not pick up again and is already on it's way to Goodwill.
The Executioner's Song was among the best. A long book that I could not put down. A thousand pages that passed like a couple of hundred. The Caretaker and Fight are also in the pageturner class.
