and for fun and 'cause Sunhawk did it, what I read in 2011. It was a really great year. Almost entirely Japanese lit for the first half.

Read 166 last year, on my 90th so far this year. I'm probably going to end up reading about the same amount again. I'm having no trouble at all finding more reading material (not to mention my huge backlog), so I dunno what to say to you Sunhawk. And I know you hate novellas, which is what I would normally suggest.

Pic is my chart from last year (yeah, it is pretty much all Japanese literature for the first few months).

These 166 books. Was planning to read two more but I ended up being drunk most of the past two days.

I found tons of favorites this year - Kornel Esti, The Hearing Trumpet, The Summer Book, Today I Wrote Nothing, Too Loud a Solitude, Strange Tales From a Chinese Studio, Scarecrow & Other Anomalies, everything by Kenji Miyazawa and Izumi Kyoka and Akutagawa.

I'm currently reading on Siddhartha, The Dedalus Book of Finnish Fantasy, and The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Basho, so one of those should be my first book read of 2012.
