Sanshiro (Penguin Classics) (2010)
October
Read in English
A nicely pessimistic and bittersweet Japanese classic. The somewhat relatable main character and his surroundings(I also started studies, after being five years outside the school system) keep this interesting from start to finish. Very early 20th century Japan is something I don't know much about so the book also had an educational side to it.

Slightly Out of Focus (Modern Library) - Robert Capa
February
Read in English
An interesting and at times entertaining memoir by Robert Capa about his work as a war photographer during WW2. The only flaw was that sometimes Capa seems more interested in depicting the war than the profession of a war photographer. Being interested more in photography myself, I expected a little more of that.
