I read more than I care to list this year, but some of my favorites were Idylls of the King, The Sickness Unto Death, and Washington: A Life. I spent a lot of time reading about the founding of the U.S., so there weren't really many books that blew me away this year. I want to start re-reading books I love more often.

I've read less this year than I have in the last eight years, though as a mild excuse two of these books together make a total of over six thousand pages which is about twenty three hundred page works. With my career, studies and language learning I've taken a step back from more serious reading, hence why so much of list list is made up of shorter easy Japanese works, easy reading non-fiction or poetry.

He's just being a dick. It took me three or four years of fairly solid reading before I started coming to grips with it.
I would suggest though that of everything you have read this year only two works were written before the 20th century, and even then you have few from the first half of the 20th century. You have several thousand years of literature to explore, a lot of it much better than almost anything written in the last century.

That looks like a year of maximum coze.
