I literally *just* cracked it open. I'm on page 5.

It's been on my to-read list forever, but I just now bought it at a garage sale. I'm behind the times!

I know. I felt like I was reading it for years!

I read princes in the tower, Pym... I really love that book. It's one of those books where bits of it are in your head for ages. Tartt, never got into that one. Halfway through just put it down and never went back.

Excellent Women is another good one. Mildred Lathbury is the prototypical Quirkyalone.

There's also a whole lot of tea drinking going on in that book.

I am notorious for forgetting of the existence of books that I've read anonymous January 21 2006, 16:15:18 UTC

so does that mean that you read 3 books last year that you'll admit to, and 47 that you won't?

i'll fully cop to some of the crap that I read right here: I went on a big james clavell kick for a little while.

I think jonathan strange was my favorite of 2005. I've never read any of the harry potter books and I felt like I finally had something to say when people would start yammering on about quidditch.

have you ever read any icelandic sagas? them shits is hot.

Geesh - give me some credit! This is 2006's list, not 2005.

The list looks ok now, but I'm fully confident that it will deteriorate as the year progresses. By June or July, it will be all

Chicken Soup for the Soul, all the time.

as I've mentioned, I'm rereading Tolstoy. Also though I'm working on "Twice-Told Tales" by Hawthorne and "No Time to Lose" by Pema Chodron. I spent New Year's Day revisiting "Too Loud a Solitude" by Bohumil Hrabal, which is a wonderful little book.

Oh yes, and "Garfield Gains Weight: His Second Book". While the title was most accurate, as Garfield's weight did indeed increase exponentially, his trademark zaniness had not yet asserted itself likewise. It would be a short while before the artiste, Mr. Jim Davis, began to find himself as the dominant social critic of post-moderation America. We are presented, however, with the introduction of one Odie, a dog and comic foil of Garfield's, with numerous cascading implications. I give this book two stars **
