oof. I started last year to keep a list. I didn't manage it very well. but some things I remember:

Books I read because of the board (either in the What are you reading now thread or various posts about authors)

Jasper Fforde - all the Thursday Next books so far. I've enjoyed them immensely although one of them plodded a bit.

Christopher Moore - I've now read all of them except for Fluke (it's always checked out of the library) Favourites: The Gospel According to Biff and Dirty Job and I can't remember it's proper name, but the Island of the love nun, or something like that.

I don't understand the genre classifications. I found those two authors in General Fiction, but everything Neil Gaiman writes is in Science Fiction/Fantasy (or Young Adult) um... Jasper Fforde has books set in an alternate universe where characters can get erased from existence, jump in and out of books, time travel, etc. Christopher Moore has vampires and demons and ghosts. I just don't understand why their books are merely "fiction" and Neil's and Terry Pratchett's are "fantasy"

wuh?

anyway, back to the list. um... Elizabeth Haydon (because Amymod liked that series) I did rather like it, although it started off very slow. Not so sure I like the latest bit of the series, ermm... The Assassin King, but we shall see where that goes when she writes more.

can't remember when exactly I started in on George RR Martin, but that was because of the board, too. *impatiently awaits the next book*

Other stuff - Harry Potter 7 - well, thank goodness that's over with.

Making Money - Terry Pratchett: I'm biased towards Discworld books and I particularly enjoy Moist Von Lipwig and the Patrician.

The Bread Baker's Apprentice by Peter Reinhart. This book set me on the path of baking artisan bread. Because of this book and some research on the net I finally learned why my bread usually failed.

The Bread Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum. I only got this book recently as a Christmas present, so I've only skimmed it, but it's got loads of tips and techniques and information.

That's the highlights at least, if not a very detailed list.

less then the years before .
one i read : the white plague by frank herbert .
cool book , with questions to one.s mental health,
,the position of religion and science in a probable near future . ( i mean , the book is from the 80 , there was the cold - war , but in the main issues its very prophetic .)

Yeah, mine has them under mystery. Technically, I guess they're crime/detective novels.

Maeve, it's Island of the Sequined Love Nun. Have you tried interlibrary loan for Fluke? I don't know if my library lends to yours, but I've seen it checked in over here. (Public library, not PSU library.)

Just put a hold on it. That way, they'll keep it at the desk for you when it comes back in. I do that all the time.

Still, there are so many hooves, and so little time, and you often miss out on the fun (and the better meme results.)
