Over this half of the year I have read (on this order):
Animal Farm (average)
More Than A Game (fucking garbage that should be set on fire)
The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories (bretty good, know it isn't too /lit/ though)
The Vegetarian (winner of the Man Booker 2015(?) and definitely good)
A General Theory of Oblivion (shortlisted for the Man Booker Award and I found it rather average)
Echos In Death (set it on fucking fire; this was awful. I went into a store and asked for that specific stores top seller, just to see what it'd be like.. didn't even realize it was the worst kind of trope ass police procedural bullshit until I got home.)
The Book Thief (a little above average)
Lord of the Flies (good)
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (very good)
Perfume (fantastic)
Death of a Salesman (a play.. but fantastic.)
The Alchemist (just above average, but goddamn.. what a meme)
Slaughterhouse-Five (personal favourite from early high school: fantastic)
Coraline (average by child standards)
Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fiction and Illusions (bretty gud)
The Old Man and the Sea (really good)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (fantastic)
Crime and Punishment (holy fuck.. incredible - well beyond fantastic.)
Notes from Underground (fantastic)
The Brothers Karamazov (incredible)
That should be about 19 titles. That's more than two a month so I'd say a relatively good half year so far.

Finished Child of God in April. Then something happened where I started a whole bunch of books. Or I just didn't read at all. Now I am actually close to finishing one, JR.
