2016 was such a busy year that by the time I could clear some space in my personal schedule to read books, half the year was already up! I had set an overly optimistic target of 24 books for the year. I finished just 10 books. Listed below are the books that I enjoyed the most. As you might deduce, the books are mostly all light reads. The book titles are linked to my book reviews, in case you are thinking of picking them up.
Family Life by Akhil Sharma
Math, Science and Unix Underpants by Bill Amend
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
The First Bad Man by Miranda July
The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
Dave Barry Does Japan by Dave Barry
The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett
For 2017, I want to get back to reading a book or two on history or non-fiction. Reading a classic fictional work or two would be nice too. As for targets, I think I can aim for 24 books again this year, that is, 2 books per month. Let me see how that goes! 😊
