I can only hope that 2012 will prove just as good a year as 2011 has been as far as reading books is concerned. I already have some of the books that will come out in the next few months, some of which I’ve already mentioned in my A Year in Reading post. The list that follows is divided into three parts consisting: A) Of the books that I already have; B) Of those that I expect to get; and, C) Of the ones that I haven’t been able to read last year. So, here we go:
