I doubt I’ll have time this year to finish the next book I intend to read, so I’ve decided to go ahead and post this list of books I read or reread in 2017:
- A Briefer History of Time (Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow)
- Lord Foul’s Bane (Stephen R. Donaldson)
- Loving-Kindness in Plain English: The Practice of Metta (Bhante Henepola Gunaratana)
- The Illearth War (Stephen R. Donaldson)
- The Power That Preserves (Stephen R. Donaldson)
- The Wounded Land (Stephen R. Donaldson)
- The One Tree (Stephen R. Donaldson)
- The Subtle Art of Not Giving a ****: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life (Mark Manson)
I didn’t expect to be reading any fantasy fiction in 2017, but when my brother told me that Stephen Donaldson had written seven more Thomas Covenant books after the three I’d read long ago, I went for it, starting from the first book. Expect a few more by Mr. Donaldson on next year’s list.
