Here's the rundown of books I consumed in 5768. I'm really, really late to doing up this list, but what can you do? I've been quite busy. This is, unfortunately, an incomplete list as the year went on I lost track of many books I'd read. I've put asterisks next to the ones that I highly, highly recommend picking up. Now? I can start up my list for 5769 since we're many months in!

I've heard nothing but good things about Kavalier & Clay. What did you think? Should I pick it up?
You know, there are times when it can feel a little begrudging, but it's one of my favorite books of all time that I've read. It's really long, and it has its ups and downs, but I would recommend it to just about anyone. I'm not even someone who is into comics or anything -- the story is so much more than that! READ IT!
I use ANoobii (a website) to keep track of what I am reading.
Have you tried 'Guide to Jewish Religious Practice' by Isaac Klein?
It's Conservative Movement, but an excellent resource, a fairly comprehensive how to and what's it all about explanatory guide.
@I-D I'm going to have to look into that. I've never heard of it!
@Schvach I haven't even heard of it, actually. I am going to Google it right now!
