Late to the game, but I'll share what I've read this year:
1.) Superman, The Unauthorized Biography by Glen Weldon This book is a summation of all things Superman. It was really helpful for me to learn all the comic book stuff, like what Silver Age and Crisis meant. I didn't grow up with Superman comics, just the Christopher Reeve movies, so this book is great to put everything in context, including the television iterations of the Man of Steel.
2.)I have cancer and I've never felt better by Tracy Krulik I am proud to say this was written by a friend of mine. She has the most extraordinary story about how she was misdiagnosed for years and how she has come out ahead of cancer. She isn't in remission - she is living with a kind of stomach cancer. It is a purely inspirational read!
3.) Life of Pi by Yann Martel I actually saw the movie first and then got inspired to pick up the book. Very entertaining read, and I have to say, the movie captured the book quite well!
4.) Bossy Pants by Tina Fey An entertaining read, especially to learn about how she grew up and came into the SNL family.
5.) Revenge Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger Entertaining book, but the plot was VERY predictable. Honestly, no surprises except that Andy and Emily are friends in the beginning. So good beach read, but that's about it.
Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.
