The end of the summer is here and I thought it would be nice to list everything that I’ve managed to read over the summer.

• RASL by Jeff Smith [ Graphic Novel ]
• Burma by Guy Delisle [ Graphic Novel ]
• Zot! by Scott McCloud [ Graphic Novel ]
• The Newford Collection by Charles de Lint [ Urban Fantasy Short Stories ]
• Lush Life by Richard Price [ Thriller/Crime Fiction ]
• Day of the Locust by Nathaniel West [ Fiction ]
• The Years by Virginia Woolf [ Fiction ]
• The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann [ Biography/History ]
• The Debt to Pleasure by John Lancaster [ Fiction ]
• Sag Harbor by Colson Whitehead [ Fiction ]
• A Better Angel: Stories by Chris Adrian [ Fiction Short Stories ]
• Dragonlance Chronicles & Legends by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman [ Fantasy ]
• The Road by Cormac McCarthy [ Fiction ]
• Death of a Cozy Author by G.M. Malliet [ Mystery ]

This has been one of the slowest reading summers in quite some while. I usually manage to read a bit more than this but being at work so much of the summer I sometimes struggle to read. Also, for most of July I was unable to read anything. I just found myself unmotivated and uninterested in everything I picked up. A reading summer-slump.

I have so many “half-started” books as I like to term them, chapters two and three being popular points of abandonment. Woolf, Lancaster, & Whitehead were some of the best works that I read this past summer and I recommend them to everyone. I’ve linked to the various postings and individual reviews.

Still, despite the fact that I fell into a bit of a summer-slump, I enjoyed this summer’s reading variety. Cheers.
