this is a list of some recent books i've read that really left an impression. so basically bad books aren't on the list and some of the books might be from before 2012.

the mysterious benedict society 1-3.
james patterson. everything.
i am number four.
to kill a mockingbird. (only good school book i've read)
the kane series.
new percy jackson series.
alex rider series. (a few years back)
the pushcart war.
john grisham. a bunch of stuff.
and probably some other things that i'm forgetting at the moment.

current reads: some more john grisham and james patterson, jeff rovin, j.a. jance, tom clancy, and ken follett, where a dobdob meets a dikdik, and a buttload of national geographic.
