Only read Goon Squad and The Last Tycoon. I'd vote for Goon Squad! (ignores ledge's lowering stare). But more importantly this is reminding me to keep a proper bloody log of what I read this year. I seem to be able to recall reading only two things. Now I know I tailed off a bit at the end of the year, but I don't think things were quite that lenten.

This mania for making lists of books is alien to me. Aimless wanders as a cloud, you might say.
