The Year in Books

Because of my qualifying exams, I didn't get to read much during the first half of the year. Here are the books that left an impression on me from the second half:

English: for some reason or other, these are mostly older books that I discovered in bookstores around the country or through recommendations from friends.
* D. Price - "How to make a journal of your life" (10 Speed Press)
* Gay and Laney Salisbury - "The Cruelest Miles" (Norton)
* Geoff Dyer - "Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered To Do It" (Vintage)
* David Brooks - "Bobos in Paradise" (Simon and Schuster) (recommended by Jaime - funny)
* Bill Buxton - "Sketching User Experiences" (Morgan Kaufmann)
* Bill Moggridge - "Designing Interactions" (MIT Press)

German:
* Heinrich Steinfest - "Die Feine Nase der Lilli Steinbeck" (Piper)
* Martin Suter - "Der Teufel von Mailand"
* Jakob Hein - "Herr Jensen steigt aus" (Piper)
* Christoph Hein - "In seiner frühen Kindheit ein Garten" (Suhrkamp)
