“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called ‘leaves’) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person - perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.”

My friend needs about 17 more copies of The Hunger Games for her class. If you’d be willing to donate copies, I can message you the address. Thanks for your help, tumblr! You’re awesome.
Here is the complete (or almost complete, once 2011 is officially over) list of books I’ve read in 2011. I’ve not included literary magazines since that’s mostly PANK and The Paris Review anyway. I haven’t linked to any of the reviews I’ve written, but I will be using this as a guide to post my favorite books of 2011 and my favorite books read in 2011.
The below list is written in the order I’ve read them. I’ve also included a key to decode the random bold lines and the italicized lines.
