Can one read too much?

I'll come at the end of the year with just under 200, about 1/3 of which were audio. Yes, I do read fast.

My top picks (in chronological order):

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie -- mystery set in 50's Britain featuring teen sleuth Flavia DeLuce, whom some might find overly precocious, but I rather liked. Great audio narration.

Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea -- six defectors' stories presented in rotating chapters for a more interesting mix, rather than Person #1's story , Person #2's story, etc. Highly recommended!

Heaven: Our Enduring Fascination with the Afterlife -- Examination of what believers (mostly three western faiths) expect Heaven to be like, by the religion editor of "Newsweek" magazine.

Aiding and Abetting -- a Muriel Spark novel about the "fate" of the missing alleged murderer Lord Lucan -- who can resist a villainess called Beata Pappenheim?

Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story -- what seems on the surface to be a silly idea for a book (a flock of talking sheep solve the murder of their shepherd), works beautifully. Especially good on audio, but highly recommended. Can't wait for the sequel to be translated to English!

Last Exit in New Jersey -- well written, suspenseful story that I couldn't put down - and I don't usually like this genre! One of my first e-books after getting a device, it's available at Amazon and Smashwords.
