This page is an archive of books read in the year 2008. (Click here for last year’s list.) If you’re interested to see my ratings for it, you can search in my booklog. The ones marked asterisk (*) are books I have read before. The bolded titles are books I recommend. The titles in strikes are books I dislike; that does not in any way mean the books would not be good reads for you, it is purely my personal preference.
