2012.Book32 - Empire of the Mind (Axworthy)

Pretty interesting history of Iran/Persia. An amazing, war-torn part of the world. Who knew Khan and Tamburlaine were such genocidaires?

2012.Book28 - Tough Shit (Smith)

Pretty bad auto-bio. Sometimes entertaining, not funny, ultimately self-indulgent.

2012.Book27 - The Hunger Games (Collins)

Pretty good YA fic.

2012.Book26 - Small Favor (Butcher)

Very good Dresden. Reading the series backwards isn't a great idea, though.
