Pages Read in 2015

In 2015, I read a fair number of great books with a few duds thrown in for flavor. I quit reading the truly awful ones, and I won't even add those to the list, but everything I finished gets a place on the list. On this list, I'll add my own rating in parentheses after each one; a 1 is awful and a 10 is pretty much one of the best books I've ever read. Anything 8 or higher is HIGHLY recommended.
