I see. Don't really know what else to say.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Comfortable overkill for the year.

I'm currently really enjoying Revelation Space. After a slew of books that are either slightly gimmicky, imperfectly written, or otherwise not that great, I'm just appreciating really well-written science fiction. More fiction than science.

And that finishes it off for 2014. Not a bad year for reading, but I'm a little disappointed with how little I got through in the second half of the year.

I got through 82 books this year. Slowed down a lot during the 2nd half of the year, partly due to other commitments and partly to take more time over the books and take more in. Well done to everybody else who took part.

Who's going to start the 2015 thread?

I'd be willing. Does it entail anything other than making a thread with the OP and updating it with people who make it?

I might not be the best choice. This year is going to be ridiculously busy for me.

Part of it is because I'm in therapy and desperate to get my brain running again (all of the books on abuse). Some of it's clearing out my bookshelves in preparation to move to graduate school (most of the other books).


Does it help?

*checks willpower* *checks bookmarked finished things* *remembers all the stuff not bookmarked* *crit fails willpower roll*

... yeah. I... definitely read enough to meet the mark. Read more this year than last year.* Just... too tired to write up the list thingy. Blegh.

*I counted! 139 fanfics in the "finished this year folder". Though I did lean towards shorter works this year. Still, y'know, over 30k (usually over 60k), but eh. Plus... probably another twenty or thirty I didn't bookmark. And a chunk more that were under the 30k mark. And a handful or so non-fanfic books. Half-dozen, something like that. Which is why thinking about typing it all out is draining my will.
