There are several books from my "long-term list" not included, notably several from last year's list, but I had to make choices. Notice there aren't any fiction books on the list. This omission isn't intentional but reflects my current interest in non-fiction topics. That said, I usually fall prey to the guilty pleasure of thriller spy novels and I often flirt with filling in one of the many literary gaps in my reading résumé. As always, suggestions are welcome.
