Since it is already halfway through october, I thought it would be interesting to inventorize what we've read so far this year and see what conclusions we can draw from that.

What I've read (in fiction, that is), alphabethically by author:

Kader Abdolah: Het huis van de moskee
Ryunosuke Akutagawa: Rashomon
Keith Baker: The City of Towers
Scott Bakker: Disciple of the Dog
Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos Papadimitriou: Logicomix (graphic novel)
Alexandre Dumas: The Count of Monte Cristo
Alexandre Dumas: The Three Musketeers
Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose
Harlan Ellison (ed.): Dangerous Visions
David Gemmell: Hero in the Shadows
Thomasine Gyllembourg: Two Ages
Kim Harrison: Dead Witch Walking
Robin Hobb: Dragon Haven
Robert E. Howard: Red Nails (novella)
David Langford: The Space Eater
George R. R. Martin: The Armageddon Rag
George R. R. Martin: Dreamsongs I
George R. R. Martin: Dreamsongs II
George R. R. Martin: Dying of the Light
George R. R. Martin: Fevre Dream
George R. R. Martin and Lisa Tuttle: Windhaven
Richard Morgan: Altered Carbon
Garth Nix: Across the Wall
Albert Sanchez Pinol: Pandora in the Congo
Ricardo Pinto: The Standing Dead
Charles den Tex: Onmacht (novella)
Peter Watts: Blindsight

What I like about this list is that it is more diversified than in previous years. There is fantasy on the list, but also sf and historical fiction. Also, I really like George R. R. Martin. What does scare me a little is that of these books, only three were by female authors. Maybe it's time to get to those Katherine Kurtz and Karen Miller books on my to-read pile...

EDIT: Dang, I forgot one Logicomix. It has now been added to the list.
