The Player of Games – Iain M. Banks
The Sparrow – Mary Doria Russell
The Sparrow – Mary Doria Russell
Read the Banks one last year, um I mean 2008. I had The Sparrow on deck for a while to read, but had to get it back to the library before it became over due. I plan to try it sometime this year. Hearing lots of good stuff about it.
Use of Weapons – Iain M. Banks
Read Use of Weapons in '08 as well, and it is my favorite of Banks' books so far.
The Eye in the Pyramid – Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson
That part of the "Illuminatus!" trilogy (I read it as one book)? Read that a couple years ago. Frakking fun and hilarious series!!!
A Canticle for Leibowitz – Walter M. Miller, Jr
Read this when I was young, and had thought about rereading it lately. Possible will this year if I have time.
(The Gone-Away World – Nick Harkaway)
Got this planned for this coming month or so.
Magician's Gambit – David Eddings
Contract Law in Scotland – Hector MacQueen and Joe Thomson
Summer Knight – Jim Butcher
Foucault's Pendulum – Umberto Eco
Castle of Wizardry – David Eddings
Contract Law in Scotland – Hector MacQueen and Joe Thomson
Summer Knight – Jim Butcher
Foucault's Pendulum – Umberto Eco
Castle of Wizardry – David Eddings
Hmm... haven't touched Eddings in ages. Always planned on reading Umberto Eco.
Looks like you had a nice year in reading!
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

What did you think of Three Men on a Boat? One of the more underrated comedies out there, IMO. *NM*

I think Jerome K Jerome was brilliant, and wish there were more like him.

I would never have considered case books "books" for purposes of the 50-book challenge.

I think even books we called textbooks were essentially case books.

Not in any meaningful sense. I suppose there are some irregularities which could be subjunctive...
