ITT: Post what you've read this year

What I remember reading:
Cancer Ward
Gravity's Rainbow
My Idea of Fun
Wonderful World
The Demon-Haunted World
Man's Search for Meaning
Apathy and Other Small Victories
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men
Last Exit to Brooklyn
... I think that's it so far. I'm not the most avid reader, I tend to pick my way through slowly, stopping to think and "digest" what I've read, because frankly, I'm not all that bright.

Here they are on a chart. Should be 69 of them, most of which are pretty short. I liked most all of them, with the exception of the Spark (though I love her other stuff I've read) and Apollinaire. I'll be checking out something else from him eventually though.

Currently reading A Confederate General from Big Sur by Richard Brautigan, Essays in Idleness by Yoshida Kenko and Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass by Bruno Schulz.
