Not too shabby, overall. My peculiar flavor of attention deficit disorder came into play, as I expected it would, and I read or started to read several titles that weren’t on the original list. I also failed to even start a handful from the original list, but maybe I’ll get around to them this fall. Speaking of fall, here (in no particular order) is the 2009 Fall Reading List:

1. Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie (Audio; narrated by Lyndam Gregory).
2. The Devil You Know by Mike Carey.
3. Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.

6. Broken Crescent by S. Andrew Swann.

8. Fool Moon (The Dresden Files · Book 2) by Jim Butcher.
9. Condemned to Repeat It: The Philospher Who Flunked Life and Other Great Lessons from History by Wick Allison, Jeremy Adams and Gavin Hambly.
