6,359 Pages Later : What I Read In 2009

Posted on January 1, 2010 by chip

I didn’t read as much last year as in the past. I blame TV and several boring books that I just never finished. Looking at the list, the Charlaine Harris “Sookie Stackhouse” seem to dominate 2009.

Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, #1) by Charlaine Harris
The United States of Atlantis (Atlantis, #2) by Harry Turtledove
Cycler by Lauren McLaughlin
Inside Straight by George R.R. Martin
Scott Pilgrim, Vol. 5: Scott Pilgrim vs The Universe by Bryan Lee O’Malley
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
Living Dead in Dallas (Sookie Stackhouse, #2) by Charlaine Harris
Club Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, #3) by Charlaine Harris
Dead to the World (Sookie Stackhouse, #4) by Charlaine Harris
Dead as a Doornail (Sookie Stackhouse, #5) by Charlaine Harris
Definitely Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, #6) by Charlaine Harris
All Together Dead (Sookie Stackhouse, #7) by Charlaine Harris
From Dead to Worse (Sookie Stackhouse, #8) by Charlaine Harris
Lost At Sea by Bryan Lee O’Malley
Superpowers: A Novel by David J. Schwartz
Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse, #9) by Charlaine Harris
Coraline by Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell (the graphic novel)
The Hunger Games (Hunger Games, #1) by Suzanne Collins
The Umbrella Academy, Vol. 1: Apocalypse Suite by Gerard Way
Catching Fire (Hunger Games, #2) by Suzanne Collins
Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger

More reading in the 2010. That seems to be a resolution that I can get behind.

The year is coming a close. Not the decade, mind you, but the year. But, much like 10 years ago, there is really something about that 9 turning into a 0 that really gets everyone all excited and stuff. So, I’ll play along.

What was I doing 10 years ago?

I was …
living at Grady Avenue with Wendy.
working at Athens Academy trying to get the internet working.
buying Capri Suns and glitter fruit rollups for a Y2K party.
complaining that Starbucks came to Athens.
bragging on my $800, 20-hour ReplayTV.
taking pictures with my Poloroid I-Zone sticker camera.
drinking at the properly located Lunch Paper.

Man, but we were all about the future back then and a lot of it still hasn’t happened yet.

It is fucking 2010 almost and we *still* don’t have bubble cars or the unitarded triumvirate of white haired old men leading us.

Well, they haven’t *revealed* themselves, anyway.

I may start working on some “Best of the Decade” lists, but in reality, I’ll probably just continue not to blog.
