I've read so few books this year compared to last year. Just look at them from last year. Beautiful. I've never read that many books before, and perhaps never again.

Yo, Sunhawk. Why are you such a huge pussy?

Sunhawk publish your 12 novels, you fuck. Or at least disseminate them on /lit/.

Here are mine so far. Pretty much on par with how much I was reading last year. At the moment I'm reading The Museum of Useless Efforts by Cristina Peri Rossi and A Gap in Nature: Discovering the World's Extinct Animals.

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.

And for even more fun, and embarrassing comparison, here's what I read in 2010. I only really began reading "serious" books in 2010, when I first start coming to /lit/. It's neat to see the progression.

is there a website that generates these jpgs?

Both Goodreads and LibraryThing can, if you've been keeping an account there and tag your shit/set the "read on" date.

These. Worst was the Chuck Klosterman book, the best was Brief interviews, or On The Road.

How was that biography on Turgenev?

>> No.2979865

>>2979860

Pretty good. I don't read many biographies, so I don't have much to compare it to, but it was very readable and certainly informative, for the most part. Some parts of his life could have done with more depth but, since it was written back in the Cold War, I guess research would have particularly difficult?
