Summary:

30 total books: 12 audio, 18 print; 13 fiction, 17 non-fiction.

I hit a slump over the summer, because Gnomon took forever to get through. Leviathan Wakes and Ball Lightning were both very fun. Educated, Martin Luther, and Feeding the Mouth That Bites You (for practical reasons) were all highlights.
