Books of 2007


So, in 2007, I kept a list of all of the books I read during the year.

If you're wondering, I got the inspiration for this from Art Garfunkel. He's kept a list of every book he's read since 1968.

I thought y'all might be interested in my list. It's mostly SF this year.

BOOKS READ IN 2007

01. Year's Best SF 11, David Hartwell/Katherine Cramer (eds.)
02. Iron Sunrise, Charles Stross
03. Beyond Singularity, Jack Dann/Gardner Dozois (eds.)
04. Old Man's War, John Scalzi
05. Master of Time and Space, Rudy Rucker
06. Blindsight, Peter Watts
07. I Am Legend, Richard Matheson
08. Bloom, Wil McCarthy
09. Rainbows End, Vernor Vinge
10. Excession, Ian M. Banks
11. The Ghost Brigades, John Scalzi
12. When Gravity Fails, George Alec Effinger
13. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling
14. The Demolished Man, Alfred Bester
15. The Last Witchfinder, James Morrow
16. Memoirs of a Geisha, Arthur Golden
17. Real World Print Production, Michael McCue
18. Real World Adobe InDesign CS2, Olav Kvern/David Blatner
19. Pebble In The Sky, Isaac Asimov
20. Year's Best SF 12, David Hartwell/Katherine Cramer (eds.)

I only averaged about 1.5 books per month, but on the other hand this list doesn't include short stories, or books I started but didn't finish (such as Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood or What Color Is Your Parachute? by Richard Bolles). Three of the books on the list (Blindsight, I Am Legend, and Rainbows End) I read entirely on a computer in PDF format.

So many books, so little time!
