Fiction/literature:
>The Bible
>Nibelungenlied
>Decameron
>Richard II, Cymbeline, & Othello by Shakespeare
Non-fiction:
>The Ancient City (by Fustel de Coulagnes)
>Selections of Aristotle
>Essays of Francis Bacon
>Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (in progress atm)

Plus about 5 shortish technical non-fiction books related to my degree/jobs (too specific to post), and maybe 5-6 shorter less serious more juvenile fiction that I read in the evenings (incl. a reread of The Hobbit, and some Sherlock Holmes).

Of everything I have read this year, The Ancient City was the most memorable. Highly recommended. Nibelungenlied was memorable too, although the ending was a literal mess. Decameron I was less impressed by. Aristotle seems half-based, half-retarded. Gibbon is amazing and honestly at the rate I am reading him I may be done with this before the end of the year even though I have over 600 pages left (reading the full unabridged Everyman's editions).

So that's it, my reading this year. It's not very much but it's still a respectable year of reading I think.

Just a freindly reminder to hide the poop sock when you have family over this season!
