2009 Book Reviews
January 9th, 2010
Well, I only managed to read 10 books in 2009. But in light of the whole GRAD SCHOOL thing, I think that’s not entirely unforgivable. As usual, you can read my reviews in detail at my Library Thing.
Five-Star Books:
- The Consolations of Philosophy by Alain De Botton
- The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams (a re-read of an all-time favorite)
Four-Star Books:
- The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
- Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto by Chuck Klosterman
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
- Outlander/Dragonfly in Amber/Voyager by Diana Gabaldon (first three in the series)
Three-Star Books:
- Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Marquez
- In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner
All-in-all, I didn’t read any books in 2009 that I flat-out didn’t like, which is an improvement on 2008. I’m only a few hundred pages from finishing my first book of 2010. I hope to read more than ten books this year, but the aforementioned GRAD SCHOOL may hinder that. Either way, you can look forward to the annual book review next year!

Yay! I’m so glad you read (and enjoyed) Wuthering Heights. It really endures for me and I read it almost yearly. Bronte kicks ass but don’t be fooled into reading Jane Eyre. Emily got all the balls in the Bronte family apparently and I think little sis Charlotte totally pusses out on the ending of her novel.
Have you tried reading much short fiction? I find it much more manageable when I am busy to pick up something I can read in a single sitting. I’d be happy to make some recommendations if you wanna try short stories.
