books read in 2013

To the best of my knowledge, these are the books I read last year:
A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami
Eleanor Rigby by Douglas Coupland
The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland
JPOD by Douglas Coupland
Supermarket by Satoshi Azuchi
Worst. Person. Ever. by Douglas Coupland
the first part of A Brief History of the Universe by Issac Asimov while waiting in Jury Duty. (would have read more if I was chosen, wasn't chosen, didn't read past the modernization of the neanderthal.)
Idoru by William Gibson
Inside and Other Short Fiction by a bunch of female Japanese authors
Television From the Inside Out by Larry Brody (though for plot structure, Dan Harmon explains it the best here.)

Out With It by Katherine Preston and The Thing About Life is that One Day You'll be Dead by David Shields (I really like these two books because their authors were stutterers like me. David only mentions his stutter and Katherine's book is entirely about stuttering and stutterers)

finished Ghostwritten by David Mitchell. great ending.

and again as like last year, a bunch of short stories, some I remember, some I don't
the ones I remember:
Black Box by Jenifer Egan
Demonology by Rick Moody
The Elephant Vanishes by Haruki Murakami
some of the short pieces that William Gibson wrote for WIRED magazine

Book not finished, but will eventually:
Wind-up Bird Chronicles by Haruki Murakami

books re-read:
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (to be honest, I didn't make it to the end of the fifth novel, but most fans agree that the fifth novel is the worst of the five and also nobody really likes the ending. too depressing.)
Black Swan Green by David Mitchell



Lessons learned from this year in reading: way too much Douglas Coupland. And also, I really like the plot structure of Japanese novels.

Top Five Books of 2013:
1. Idoru by William Gibson
2. Ghostwritten by David Mitchell
3. The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland
4. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
5. This one short story that I can't find again about how all the world becomes silent, then becomes addicted to silence.
