A list of all the books that I've completed so far in 2k11. I've already read more books in the first half of 2011 than I read in all of 2010 (which was a real down year for me in this regard). However, I have to admit that much of my total comes from speeding through a lot of graphic novels and comic books during a two or three week period in June. This was research for a comic series John Woods and I will be working on soon.
These are only the books that I've finished. There are many others that I've started (2666, The Hundred Brothers, NOON 2011, etc.) that I will hopefully complete before the year is out. I've only re-read one book so far this year (the Carver). Favorites so far:
Taking Care by Joy Williams, Wilson by Daniel Clowes and Hunger by Knut Hamsun.

This is a good looking list. I'm pretty sure I should get an internet high-five for Taking Care. Told you that book was so good! Also, I hope you'll finish 2666 and talk to me about it. I love that book as well.
