Much of it was crammed into fall and winter, during my Ireland trip and after my breakup, when I suddenly had a lot more time on my hands. I&#8217;m speaking specifically of Lois McMaster Bujold, whose work I&#8217;d never read before mid-September; I finished the fifteenth of her fifteen Miles Vorkosigan books at 9:00 on New Year&#8217;s Eve, because I really did get that obsessed. There&#8217;s plenty written about Bujold, you don&#8217;t need me to tell you she&#8217;s good, but: she&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>I already talked about Tinker Tailor. Listening to Tina Fey read Bossypants to me was a delight, and I finally backed up my assertion that I love Martin McDonagh by reading some more Martin McDonagh. Comicswise, I got on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atomic-robo.com\/\">Atomic Robo<\/a> train, I snuck through Matthew G&#8217;s copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.topatoco.com\/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=TO&#038;Product_Code=BEAT-HARK-BOOK&#038;Category_Code=BEAT\">Hark, A Vagrant<\/a> because nobody can keep it in stock, and everybody is right about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.firstsecondbooks.com\/anyas\/anya.html\">Anya&#8217;s Ghost<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll read more in 2012. Goals: more le Carr&eacute;, get back into Atwood, back up my assertions about Tiptree by reading more Tiptree, and finish at least three books I own but haven&#8217;t read (starting with Mindy Kaling, Jedediah Berry, and Iain M. Banks).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My favorite book of 2011 was Constellation Games, which I am going to start writing about tomorrow, but I got more reading done this year than I have in a while and I&#8217;m glad.
