It's another year's end and another beginning. Jack not too excited, he wasn't around last New Year so there's not much 'reflect & renew' for him.
One common recurring theme of 2005 is that Jack gets lugged to frequent book-shopping trips. He's been to a number of various outlets of MPH, Popular, Borders and Times. Here's a list of books I've consumed for 2005.
--January-- Tuesdays With Morrie [Mitch Albom] Memoirs of a Geisha [Arthur Golden] The Dilbert Principle [Scott Adams] --February-- Eats, Shoots & Leaves [Lynne Truss] Number Ten [Sue Townsend] The Amulat of Samarkand [Jonathan Stroub] The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time [Mark Haddon] The Rules of Work [Richard Templar] Diary - A Novel [Chuck Palahniuk] --March-- Angela's Ashes [Frank McCourt] Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 [Sue Townsend] The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole [Sue Townsend] True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole [Sue Townsend] Chinese Cinderella [Adeline Yen Mah] Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years [Sue Townsend] The Magician's Nephew [C.S.Lewis] Girl, Interrupted [Susanna Kaysen] Confessions of a Shopaholic [Sophie Kinsella] The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe [C.S.Lewis] --April-- The Broken Bridge [Philip Pullman] He's Just Not That Into You [Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo] The Jane Austen Book Club [Karen Joy Fowler] --May-- Life of Pi [Yann Martell] Diary of a Young Girl [Anne Frank] The Golem's Eye [Jonathan Stroub] The Asti-Spumante Code [Toby Clements] --June-- Darren Shan: Cirque de Freak [NA] Bergodf Blondes [Plum Sykes] Fever Pitch [Nick Hornby] --July-- Mister God, This is Anna [Fynn] The Sunday Philosophy Club [Alexander McCall Smith] Sophie's World [Jostein Gaardner] Cather in the Rye [J.D. Salinger] The Alchemist [Paulo Coelho] --August-- Lullaby [Chuck Palahniuk] The Horse and His Boy [C.S.Lewis] Charlie and The Chocolate Factory [Roald Dahl] Nothing Ever Happens in Tiffany [Marian Keyes] --September-- Rich Dad, Poor Dad [Richard Kiyosaki] Veronika Decides To Die [Paulo Coelho] Joy of Work - Dilbert [Scott Adam] Harmony Silk Factory [Tash Aw] Adrian Mole & the Weapons of Mass Destuction [Sue Townsend] --October-- The Full Cupboard of Life [Alexander McCall Smith] Last Chance Saloon [Marian Keyes] White Teeh [Zadie Smith] In the Company of Cheerful Ladies [Alexander McCall Smith] The Rice Mother [Rani Manicka] --November-- Oryx and Crake [Margaret Atwood] Angels and Demons [Dan Brown] 2 1/2 Pillars of Wisdom [Alexander McCall Smith] --December-- Wild Swans [Jung Chang] Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire [JK Rowling] Sari & Sins [Nisha Minhas] This list, hoever, does not represent the amount of actual book buying I did (and Jack carted) in 2005. To not scare myself and my wallet I refuse to list them down and put a value to them. Happy New Year!
