My Top Books Of 2005

This year I read about 20 books, ranging in topics such as vampirism, geishas and World War II, parachute kids, wizardry, and the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili.

So, my top five books that I read in 2005 are:


1. Memoirs Of A Geisha by Arthur Golden
2. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
3. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
4. The Traveler by John Twelve Hawkes
5. The Jasmine Trade by Denise Hamilton

Oh yeah, the book that I read that centered around the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili was the Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason.
