Assignment 2 - Tahsen Hossain - Books! They Exist.

To be entirely honest, I have not read many books in the last year. I think I total at fourteen or fifteen completed books in the past twelve months. Of those, I only remember nine:

1. The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanely Robinson (as a World History assignment but I still really enjoyed it)
2. The British Lion by Tony Schumacher
3. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (although I had already read it several times)
4. The Underground Man by Mick Jackson (which is heartbreakingly relatable despite being at least a decade old although I regret reading it after I watched the movie)
5. The Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews (I didn't necessarily like how it was written but the story has some truly smart moments)
6. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (which I was also rereading so that I could read what I thought was a sequel)
7. Armada by Ernest Cline (which I thought was the sequel to Ready Player One but it wasn't; still a great book)
8. The Presidents Gardens by Muhsin al-Ramli
9. Gai Jin by James Cavell (I didn't know it was the 5th part of a book series so I was very confused for a bit)

Additionally, there were three books that I remember not finishing because of the overwhelming feeling of boredom that occurred every time I picked them up:

1. The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
2. Betrayal at Iga by Susan Span
3. Pearl Wars by Nick James
