What non-poetry books have you read in the last 365 days?

I think I can make a list:

>One hundred years of solitude, Gabriel Garcia Márquez
>The Ego and His own, Stirner (didn't finish it though)
>Capitán Alatriste, Arturo Pérez Reverte
>Don Quijote de la Mancha (re-read it for the 3rd time)
>Pnin, Vladimir Nabokov
>The Karamazov Brothers, Fyodor Dostoievski
>Memoirs of a Beatnik, Diane di Prima
>We, Yevgeny Zamyatin
>The Setting Sun, Osamu Dazai

I might be forgetting one or two but so far I remember those.

-One hundred ye

i didnt include the non-lit approved material cuz i figured id get assblasted over it.
just goes to show on /lit/ you get assblasted either way.
also moby dick, les mis, and IJ are all 1000 pages, so they should count as two each.
fight me if you disagree
