Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain.
The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter
"The rotter's club" by Jonathan Coe. Nothing special, especially compared with his best books (in my opinion), the "The Winshaw legacy" and "The house of sleep".
Finished so far this year.

Promis of Blood - Brian McCellan
Crimson Campaign - Brian McCellan
Game of Thrones - George RR Martin
Tanith First and Only - Dan Abnett
Night and the Enemy - Harlan Ellison
Propoganda Cartoons of WW2 - Tony Husband
I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream - Harlan Ellison
Berserk (All volumes available in english) - Kentaro Miura
Gunsmith Cats (including Burst) - Keichi Sonada

and half of Joe Halderman's Forever War (I just couldn't dig it)

Bit dissapointed at this years progress. I quit smoking which threw my game wayyyyy off.

Still have a hell of a backlog. Oh well there's always time.
"The Girl in the Spider's Web" - a bit disappointing. Sure, Larsson had some slow areas, but he still made them interesting. Lagercrantz is trying, I'll grant him that, but for all the "Salander and Blomkvist together again!" hurrahs, they seem like minor characters and I'm more than halfway through it.

Um... what the hell is it called... David Wong's third book.... oh! "Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits." I dig it.
Herodotus - The Histories

Highly recommended, it reads like a travelogue and many names you encounter will be familiar as they made their way through more than two thousand years into our time. The only thing is that so much stuff is happening on a few pages and Herodotus jumps frequently in the timeline back and forth.

Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky.

I was reading game reviews during this past sale, and one mentioned this book. So I picked up the book rather than the game. It's a curious setting. I wonder how true it is to the present Moscow Metro. I'm tempted to look at a map-- not one specifically drawn for the game or book, as I worry that may spoil something.
The Back Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

I'm only in the beginning but it's very interesting already.

You can't finish something that hasn't ended.........poor soul, I am also like this.

The only book I have finished this year was Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, not a bad read, but you wouldn't like to get stuck in the beggining chapters in your own room as you eat trash while your family abors your current state and give you scraps of more than just interaction (That speaks to me in so many levels right now due to college)
