The year ending gave me the urge to figure out all the books I read in 2011—but I gave up, because how annoying. Instead, here are the three piles of books on my desk. The two taller piles contain some of what I’ve read in 2011. (I hesitate to say “most”—where’s The Art of Fielding? Pulphead? Those other books I probably read?) I haven’t read War & Peace (ha), or the Wodehouse, or any Calvino; Carson and Baker are mostly older than this year. I didn’t finish Pierre, which was very strange. The first, shortest pile is my unread pile—the 2012 pile. Onward!
