2012.Book61 - The Alchemist (Coelho)

Pretty good

2012.Book60 - Of Blood and Honey (Leicht)

Very intense supernatural thriller. The problems of Northern Ireland in the 70s, coupled with being a werewolf.

2012.Book59 - Crazy Love (Chan)

Really weak.

2012.Book58 - Lies of Locke Lamora (Lynch)

Excellent sort-of fantasy.

2012.Book57 - Highly Inappropriate (Coupland)

Pretty funny.

2012.Book56 - Close Enough (Paul)

Quite weak. He's better at despair and misery than attempting hope.

2012.Book55 - Resurrection from the Underground (Girard)

Excellent literary/philosophical. Desacralizing the father.

2012.Book54 - From the Notebooks of Dr. Brain (Faust)

Excellent superhero (parody?) self-help.

2012.Book53 - Just Ride (Petersen)

Very good bike book.

2012.Book52 - Zero History (Gibson)

Pretty good fashion espionage. It's a sub-plot to a larger book. Not sure if it's great or kind of a farce.

2012.Book51 - Demythologizing Heidegger (Caputo)

Very good philosophy. It's easier to be sympathetic to deconstructions when you read (their version) of Heidegger.

2012.Book50 - How to Read Kierkegaard (Caputo)

Pretty good intro.

2012.Book49 - What's So Funny? (Westlake)

Pretty good mystery. Not actually funny.

2012.Book48 - The Secret Race (Hamilton)

Really good story of professional cycling and doping

2012.Book47 - Darkness Visible (Styron)

Very interesting first-person account of depression.

2012.Book46 - Last Argument of Kings (Abercrombie)

Unrelentingly bleak war fantasy.

2012.Book45 - Before They Are Hanged (Abercrombie)

Good noir fantasy.

2012.Book44 - The Enlightened Cyclist (Weiss)

Pretty good bike culture fun. Ride with good will.

2012.Book43 - Redshirts (Scalzi)

Very good SF, not exactly satire. The codas make it.

2012.Book42 - Taft (Patchett)

Pretty good novel. Patchett's other stuff is set in weird situations, but this one's pretty normal.
