End of the month review: September, 2005
Not that anybody reads these month-end round-ups, but I screwed up last time by saying I hadn�t bought any new books. I�m so far behind that my statement that I hadn�t bought anything was more like wishful thinking. I bought lots of stuff before I left. Not that I can figure it out, but I�ll give it a shot. At some other time, that is, not now. Dear god, not now. Right now, I�m just trying to catch up with the tail end of 2005, which shouldn�t be too hard, as my monthly reading is on the low end now. Yeesh. Really on the low end. I�m nearly four months behind, and yet, I only have eight books to write up. I remember when finishing eight books in a month meant I was doing rather poorly.
In any case:
- Best book: Adam Haslett, with �You Are Not a Stranger Here.� The only book that hit so close to home that I finally hit back.
- Worst book: Greg Cox, with his official novelization of the Daredevil movie. I�m sure everyone else is thinking, �well, duh...� with this pick, but you forget that I liked the Daredevil movie, and in addition, I�m a total dork fanboy.
Anyway. As for the books read between September 2 and October 1...
- Books read: Eight.
- Money spent on books read during this period: $25.23.
- Books bought during this time: None. NONE! This time I mean it!
So that means for 2005 thus far...
- I read 94 books. That doesn�t seem quite right, I�ll need to double check when I have free time. Maybe in seven years.
- I also spent $389.67 on books this year.
