Καθώς το 2016 φτάνει στο τέλος του, ξεχωρίζω μερικά από τα βιβλία που διάβασα. Τα δύο καλύτερα της χρονιάς, τα σημειώνω με έντονα γράμματα παρακάτω. Η σειρά με την οποία παραθέτω τα βιβλία είναι τυχαία. Από τη λίστα, παραλείπω βιβλία της δουλειάς μου, καθώς και τα λίγα Ελληνικά και Γαλλικά βιβλία που διάβασα.

Φέτος, λόγω περιστάσεων, έφτασα τα 80 βιβλία (εκτός αυτά της δουλειάς). Ο κατάλογος παρακάτω περιλαμβάνει 25 τίτλους, περίπου το ένα τρίτο της φετεινής αναγνωστικής μου δραστηριότητας.
