If you've been reading my lj for any length of time you've probably picked up on the fact that I'm eclectic in my tastes. I basically adore all genres and don't tend to discriminate that much. But I do have my comfort reads and this past year was a traumatic one, so the reading tended towards the comfort zone, with lots and lots of magazines.
These are the books that I read which I remember. And I'm using my lj as a crutch partly in this. Why is it that I remember the books I read when I was in my teens and twenties better than the ones I read this year? Was it the quality? (Doubtful, although don't remember everything read back then either - I was a book fiend. I consumed everything on my parents, brother's and the library's shelves.) Dunno.
This list is in no particular order and please note, it isn't a "BEST" list so much as just a list of novels that I found memorable and noteworthy. They are all flawed in their way, but I adored them all the same.
( Eleven Notable Books I Read in 2006 )
While the 50 books in a year thing sounds tempting - I have enough goals at the moment, latest finish novel and revise before March 15, so can submit to online contest at The Gathering Place. (We'll see if I accomplish this.) Other goal learn to knit - which I've managed to accomplish in two days - I'm knitting rather well - haven't a clue what I'm making, but I am enjoying it. Last two, won't mention because I don't want to jinx myself and they are sort of obvious.
