For this, the last posting of 2015, here are my favourite books of the past twelve months. For several years I've been recording author and title of each book I read, with marks to indicate the ones I didn't like (or didn't finish) and the ones I liked best. Below are the author and title of all the starred books on my list. Seek them out and enjoy your reading!
