The Year That Was 2006: Books

I'll be honest: 2005 was a pretty poor year for book reading. Now, I really enjoy being a bookwork, but with graduating from university and moving back to Brighton, my books were neglected. The good news is that 2006 has seen a book-based revival in the Munro household, and from what I can gather, I've managed to read 25 books this year, which is just over 2 a month...

So, the books are, in no particular order:

1. The Timewaster Letters
2. Return Of The Timewaster Letters
3. Kevin Smith: Silent Bob Speaks
4. The Hagakure
5. K-Pax 2
6. The World According To Clarkson
7. Bill Bryson: A Short History Of Nearly Everything
8. Spike Milligan: Adolf Hitler - My Part In His Downfall
9. Something Wicked: New Scottish Crime Fiction
10. Amarillo Slim: In A World Full Of Fat People
11. Dumping Hillary
12. Mr. Phillips
13. Stiff: The Curious Lives Of Human Cadavars
14. Dave Barry's Bad Habits
15. The Tao Of Bruce Lee
16. The Zen Of Muhammad Ali
17. What We Believe But Cannot Prove
18. Random Acts Of Kindness
19. Join Me
20. Carter Beats The Devil
21. The Diving Bell & The Butterfly
22. Is This Is A Man / The Truce
23. Scientology: Fundamentals Of Thought
24. The Dice Man
25. Four Blind Mice

The books which stand out in my mind are Carter Beats The Devil, and The Zen Of Muhammad Ali, and are books I wouldn't hesitate in recommending to anyone. What books have you read this year? Hand over your lists!

P.s. apologies for not including full author information or linkage on the list - if you need some more info on a particular book, feel free to ask me about it.
