The first half of the year started with a flurry of novels but then seemed to die off, resulting in a disappointingly short list.
Novels
The Penultimate Truth by Philip K. DickMakers by Cory Doctorow (review TBD)
Anthologies
Non Fiction
Before compiling the list I didn't think it was a particularly good year however there are some good books in there, but not much new and shiny (except for Makers and The Quite War). In fact the books I liked the most were edge SF: Spook Country, This Is Not A Game, The Yiddish Policeman's Union. Whilst the most SF of all, The Quiet War, is a good book, but I just didn't like it that much.
A novel a month doesn't sound like very much to have read, however I console myself with the fact that I read a reasonable amount of short SF this year and even some non-fiction.
