books this year, cont'd
more for my own records than anything else, here's my progress on "40 books this year" so far...
1. Knife of Dreams - Robert Jordan (ok, technically i read the first 100 pages in 2006, but it's like 800 pages long...)
2-4. Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, Dragondrums - Anne McCaffrey
5. Angela's Ashes - Frank McCourt
6-8. Dragon Flight, Dragon Quest, The White Dragon - Anne McCaffrey
9. Their Eyes Were Watching God - Zora Neale Hurston (not counting most of the books i teach, but I actually sat and read this all the way through before teaching it since i'd only read it once, a long time ago, before)
10. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister - Gregory MacGuire
11-13. The Black Gryphon, The White Gryphon, The Silver Gryphon - Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon
14. Enchanted - Orson Scott Card
15. Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden
16-20. Harry Potter #1-5 - J.K. Rowling (yes, i know, these shouldn't really count, but i actually read them more closely than usual b/c it's been a while)
21. Canterbury Papers - Judith Koll Healy
22. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - J.K. Rowling
23. Stumbling on Happienss Daniel Gilbert
24. The MasterHarper of Pern - Anne McCaffrey
*gasp* only 6 books currently sitting in my cue (though one is the once and future king which i've started and can't get into, and another is grapes of wrath which i'm halfway through). luckily i am not too worried about running out of things to read, what with working at barnes and noble now. can't wait to put that discount to use...though i'm trying to put it off til i actually get a paycheck from them and all...
