It was a disappointing year for me as far as reading goes.
Not because of the quality of the books, mind you, but simply because I had
very little time to read, especially later in the year. There are still a
number of books – including *gasp* a new book from Neil Gaiman – that I
haven’t gotten around to, and I’ve only managed to read about five books in the
last six months. That has to be a lifelong low for a guy that’s used to reading
at least 40 a year, and it makes me want to cry. Here’s to fixing that problem
in the coming year.
That said, I still read some pretty good books this year, so
here’s the list. As a reminder, this is in no way a “best of 2013” list (they're not all even from 2013). Even
in a good year, I don’t manage to read enough books to even remotely think I’m
qualified to name the “best.” These are just my favorite reads of the last year
(in alphabetical order by author, not order of preference).
