All the Books I Read in 2011
Here’s the big one. Here’s last year’s list. I did manage a few more this time, but didn’t hit 50. I blame…school? Asterisk means a reread, as with the movie list.

And here we go:
1 The City and the City; China Miéville - this is the first Miéville I’ve read, and it led indirectly to the Border Town project I worked on last summer. So it was hugely important for the tenor of my year, and for that I am eternally grateful. But as a book on its own merits, I found I enjoyed only the middle third of the book: after the setting was (laboriously) described, and before the plot got irritatingly ridiculous.
