Year Four

Well folks, it's been one hell of a year! Honestly I cannot believe that this is my fourth year doing this, granted I'm not too terribly active these days, but still! I certainly read a lot this past year, for many reasons, but in the end it was a great year of reading. Lots of fantasy on this list (about 36% to be precise), but the other big hitter was non-fiction (27%) and damn were those interesting. There's a big chunk in there about chess, all of which I highly recommend for those interested in chess, but my favorite was definitely Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond; if you're interested in history, anthropology, psychology, evolution, biology, or sociology pick it up! 

As always, hit me up if you're curious about any of the titles and I'll write a little review!
