And so ends year two of book reviews. You can also check out my 2013 Revue if you are so inclined. My book reading suffered greatly this year due to an extremely distracted mind due to personal issues and I’m sure the reviews reflect that slightly. C’est la vie. I read 19 books this year. What a paltry sum. I continued my life long quest to read all the books that I should have read a long time ago. 8 of my 19 books fell into that category. Here’s a recap with links to the reviews.
