Tags:
- Jon Stewart and the Daily Show Staff, _America: The Book_
- Frederick Pohl and C.M. Kornbluth, _The Space Merchants_
- Mario Vargas Llosa, _La ciudad y los perros_ (note, available in English translation under the title _Time of the Hero_)
- Mark Edmundson, _Why Read?_
- William Gibson, _Burning Chrome_
- Ellen Hall and Richard Handly, _Schools in Crisis_ (2004)
- Gabriel Garcia Marquez, _Cien A~nos de Soledad_ (Available widely in English translation as _One Hundred Years of Solitude_. This is my 4th time rereading it. I make it a point to reread it every so often when I get the "time to head to Macondo" urge. If anyone reads one book out of Latin America and nothing else, this is it. Anyhow, this is my all time favorite.)
- Caleb Carr, _The Alienist_
- Juris Dilevko and Lisa Gottlieb, _Reading and the Reference Librarian_
These are a few of the books I recall reading in 2004, at least the ones I wrote about in my journal. 2004 was a bit of a transition year for me: new job, new place to live, thus writing fell a bit off the side. At any rate, I think I managed to get in some classice as well as other items. I did the one for 2005, and I figured, why not list some of the ones for 2004 too?
