One of my goals for 2011 was to read more, and while I fell short of my goal of reading a book every two weeks, I did manage to read more than did in 2010. Here's what I read this year:

• American Gods by Neil Gaiman
• At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson
• Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
• Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach
• Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
• The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking
• The Great Stagnation by Tyler Cowen
• The Lost Worlds of 2001 by Arthur C. Clarke
• The New Capitalist Manifesto by Umair Haque
• The Next Decade by George Friedman
• Zero History by William Gibson

I also read all five A Song of Fire and Ice books by George R. R. Martin (I read through the first four in about a month so I could read the new one when it was released):

• Game of Thrones 
• A Clash of Kings 
• A Storm of Swords
• A Feast for Crows 
• A Dance with Dragons
