What did I read in 2009?
Ever since I was twelve I have kept a meticulous list of the books that I have read. There have been scores of books, and thousands of pages and, mostly, good books flowing in the years since my book list inception.
In the belief that a man can be partially made up of what he consumes, here is what rolls through me. I will update as often as possible, and try and include everything. What I am currently reading will be at the top of the page, then roll down chronologically.
A very useful list. I added a few of these to my ever-growing Amazon wishlist. I must check out some of Duane Swierczynski’s stuff, I really liked his run on Iron Fist.
Rol - I’d pretty much say all of these novels are worth checking out. All good reads, which means it must have been a good year all around. Duane Swierczynski’s novels are absolutely fantastic. I reviewed him back in the day, give him a search on here, both novel rock the action.
