The beginning of October marks about a year I've been keeping this journal/blog. I have read 78 books in that time frame! I hope I can get another hundred by this time next year!
Let's go back and pick out the best book of each month:
October 2010: Everything Matters! by Ron Currie Jr.
November 2010: You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers
December 2010: The War of the End of the World, by Mario Vargas Llosa
January 2011: The Street of Crocodiles, by Bruno Schulz
February 2011: Everything is Illuminated, by Jonathan Safran Foer
March 2011: 2666, by Roberto Bolano
April 2011: Moon Palace, by Paul Auster
May 2011: Don Quixote, by Cervantes
June 2011: A Visit from the Goon Squad, by Jennifer Egan
July 2011: Going after Cacciato, by Tim O'Brien
August 2011: Pale Fire, by Vladimir Nabokov
September 2011: The Instructions, by Adam Levin (although Infinite Jest is in progress, and would probably make the list for October 2011)
Book of the Year? Very tough decision, although I would have to base it off which book has stayed with me the most, and affected me the most.
First Place : 2666, by Roberto Bolano
Honorable Mentions: The War of the End of the World, Going after Cacciato, The Instructions, and You Shall Know Our Velocity!
