Dec. 31st, 2008 04:21 pmFirst, a happy birthday to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
liabrown and izzat!!
Secondly, even though I don't celebrate New Years, I hope all of you have a happy one.
No comics today, even if they were delivered nothing was interesting. This has been a year that's killed most of my interest.
Work was okay.
And, getting it just under the wire, my final book foo of 2008.
Finished: Forever Peace, by Joe Haldeman (reread)
Started: To be announced. Haven't decided yet. Will probably be a reread, though.
Thoughts on FP behind the cut. Spoilery a bit in terms of feelings and tone, but not really in terms of plot elements (except basic back-of-the-book type description). Short version: Pretty good on a mixed read, but starts better than it ends up, and YMMV a lot.

And to close up, here is my 2008 Reading List! Cut for your sanity (includes some links to the full text of the books, made available online by the authors)! These are listed more or less in order of reading (any two books next to each other may or may not have been read in the proper order, but with rare exceptions any book on the list was read earlier than a book two numbers down. Not that anybody cares).
1. The Paradox of the Sets, by Brian Stableford

59. Forever Peace, by Joe Haldeman (reread)
Wow, 59 books. And I wasn't even really trying for the '50 books in a year', and pretty much (with the exception of a few books read online) just reading while walking, at work waiting for it to start, or in the laundry room. Not bad if I do say so myself. Interestingly, I didn't realize that I discovered Karl Schroeder and read through most of the Culture books all in this year. Also read a lot of books involving, in one way or another, the concept of the Singularity.
