But really I love the mix of titles. The range of interests my friends have. You'll see some duplicates with my list. Some of my friends included the author's names. I thought that was helpful so I left them in.
Of this list of 126 books/series I think I counted about 33 that I've read.
So my next reads? Hmmm.
Interpreter of Maladies and Cellist of Sarajevo for sure. And I guess I'd better read the other two Stieg Larsson books since I finished Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Then we'll just have to see.

This is great! I've read 55 of these, so I guess I only have 71 reasons to procrastinate, but lots of new ideas!
ReplyDeleteJust a warning: Mistress of Mellyn by Victoria Holt is a melodramatic romance with predictable turns at every ... well ... turn. I listed it because it was a book I just happened on in my junior high library to read for a class. I had no expectations. Then I loved it. And it started me reading in a whole new way, ravenous. Good for a 13-year-old, but it's not necessarily a book I'd read now.
