Long story short, I got faster, often reading entire books in a couple of days, something I never would have thought myself capable of this time last year. Not only were the books themselves great (Childhood's End, The Handmaid's Tale, Ender's Game, Fahrenheit 451, and Frankenstein), but now that leisurely making my way through a book takes only a week or so as opposed to months I've started reading a bunch of things I've been meaning to get to, and am slowly amassing quite a large list of books that I'd like to tackle. These include:
- 1984, George Orwell
- Time and Again, Jack Finney
- The Illustrated Man, Ray Bradbury
- Something Wicked This Way Comes, Ray Bradbury
- Starship Troopers, Robert A. Heinlein
- A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess
- The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
- Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson
- The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Michael Chabon
- Fever Pitch, Nick Hornby
- Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris
I'll be posting my progress up here as I make my way through these.

If anyone is still reading at this point, I'm hoping that you're up for some participation in the comments section: What are some of your favorite books?
