Just got back from a whirlwind 2 weeks in California. Did some reading but didn't have much chance for writing. Expect review posts to resume this weekend for those wondering where they went. I'm almost to the half way mark in my "52 in 52" exercise. Here's my list so far
1. Shantaram – Gregory David Roberts
2. Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime – John Heilemann and Mark Halperin
3. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo – Steig Larsson
4. The Replacements: All Over But The Shouting – Jim Walsh
5. Then We Came To The End – Joshua Ferris
6. The Hunter - Richard Stark
7. The Girl Who Played With Fire - Stieg Larsson
8. Heart Shaped Box - Joe Hill
9. Juliet, Naked - Nick Hornby
10. Casino Royale - Ian Fleming
11. Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem
12. The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman
13. The Tourist - Olen Steinhauer
14. Night Soldiers - Alan Furst
15. The Nearest Exit - Olen Steinhauer
16. Kirby:King of Comics - Mark Evanier
17. Let It Blurt:The Life and Times of Lester Bangs, America's Greatest Rock Critic - Jim DeRogatis
18. The Glass Menagerie - Tennessee Williams
19. I, Robot - Isaac Asimov
20. World War Z - Max Brooks
21. Neuromancer - William Gibson
22. Devil In A Blue Dress - Walter Mosley
23. Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
As you can see my reading pace is faster than my writing pace. I plan on catching up with at least 2 or 3 blog posts a week for your reading pleasure, and as requested, I will probably go back and review some of the books I read before I started the blog.
Looking back, I've had a productive reading summer, having finished 13 books in the past month and a half, not counting magazines, comics and newspapers. That's some good reading. I'm finally making some real progress in my infinite "to read" pile.

I also have that infinite "to read" pile. I think that Shantaram should count for two or three books, however. I'd love to see a review on that one since it's in my stack. Happy reading!
