Eugene asked me for my favorite 10 books that I read in 2004… that reminded me to clear off my shelf of ‘books read this year’, and also highlighted that I had a LOT of free time on my hands this year, considering my sabbatical in beginning of year, and ‘retirement’ in October.
So, here it is, my 2004 reading recommendations list, in a somewhat ranked order… it obviously became very difficult to rank them… but, I did my best…

———–
One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest (Kesey)
The Crimson Petal and the White (Faber)

Devil in the White City (Larson)
Positively Fifth Street (McManus)
Every Second Counts (Jenkins / Armstrong)
Bringing Down the House (Mezrich)
Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot (Franken)
That Old Ace in the Hole (Proulx)
The Emperor of Ocean Park (Carter)
Living History (Hillary Clinton)
