For some time at the end of the year I published a meme, in fact it only happened in 2010, then I just wrote a post about my readings, even if the structure remained the same. But, as I wrote when I talked about the various types of posts not to publish on the blog , I'm tired of writing posts of that kind. However, I liked my reading report, so I gave it a new shape and will continue to do so in the future. This year I managed to read 50 books, including novels, essays, guides and manuals, ranging from various literary genres such as horror, science fiction, historical novels, adventure, detective stories, noir, thrillers, post-apocalyptic and classics.
There were 12 books that I didn't like at all, so about a quarter of the books read: too many, actually, don't you think? I don't count the abandoned ones, which I don't even remember. But let's move on to a brief analysis of my readings. Readings of 2014: a brief report I have only read ten books by Italian authors, therefore a fifth of those read. For the first Phone Number Data time I read novels by Japanese authors: 1Q84 by Murakami Haruki and Moribito by Nahoko Uehashi. These were two interesting reads. I thought I had stopped reading sagas and trilogies but instead I read two of them in paperback, for a total of 7 novels: the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth and The Giver by Lois Lowry, both, as is my usual, known thanks at Cinema.
I go to the cinema to read more. To these I add a third in ebook: 4 stories from the second Mondo9 saga by Dario Tonani which, I'm sorry, I didn't like in the slightest, unlike the first. I met, through their works, some authors who I will reread: Paul Auster, Oliver Sacks, Lorenzo Carcaterra (also known at the cinema 20 years ago with Sleepers , a novel read only this year), Daniel Woodrell, Kim Leine, Michele Mari. Among the most curious books I have read is undoubtedly He's Back by Timur Vermes, a novel that predicts Hitler's return to today's world.
