Over the last 10 years I have read 450 books, totaling 150,086 pages. Around 100 were ebooks, 5 were audio books, and 15 were graphic novels. I also read several Japanese Manga books that I didn't track for some reason.
In no particular order some of my favorites were:
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
Boneshaker by Cherie Priest
The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan
The Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson
Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis
The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
The Worlds Strongest Librarian by Josh Hanagarne
Legends of the First Empire series by Michael Sullivan
The Kings Justice by Stephen Donaldson
and Radium Girls by Kate Moore.
9 of these books were partial reads, the worst of which were: For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway - I gave up at 250 pages, and War and Peace by Tolstoy - I gave up at 300 pages.
I know I am supposed to like both of these books, but they are awful. But still not as bad as Silas Marner.
So, Happy New Year to everyone! My resolution is to read 600 more books by 2029!
