Red All Over
That's two years now in Ithaca. As per my apparent tradition (see last year's), these are the books I've read since August 18, 2006, in no particular order:
25 books. That's exactly same number as I read last year. This seems surprising, since I thought I was a lot busier this year. Maybe I just wasted less time this year.
Next up is The Making of Star Wars, by J. W. Rinzler, and then I think I want to read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, by Michael Chabon, and then maybe Don't Panic by Neil Gaiman (Neil Gaiman wrote a book about Douglas Adams? Who knew?).
It occurs to me that I read essentially no fiction other than Science Fiction/Fantasy. This should perhaps be fixed. I'm tempted to ask for suggestions, but when I did that last year I never read most of the suggestions I got, so I worry that doing so again would be wasting your time.
