I'll be reading less serious stuff too. Tim Send a noteboard - 11/01/2010 08:52:14 AM
This list isn't my entire reading plan for the year. It's the things I've been meaning to read for ages but haven't got round to, and which I've realised I'll probably never get round to if I don't put them on a list like this one. In between, I'll be reading easier stuff with which I don't have that problem.

P.S. These two are pretty non-literary:

Raw Spirit – Iain Banks
A Short History of Nearly Everything – Bill Bryson


The first is a book about whisky, and the second... well, it's Bill Bryson.

Interestingly random list. Legolas - 10/01/2010 05:55:51 PM 833 Views
It's mostly things I've bought and not read yet. Other than that, there's no coherent theme. Tim - 10/01/2010 06:16:01 PM 812 Views

I'm actually the same as Tim. Haven't read them since I did it in 5th grade. Ghavrel - 10/01/2010 11:17:23 PM 560 Views
It does look that way, doesn't it? Tim - 11/01/2010 05:06:41 PM 676 Views

Okay, I misread Tim's response and thought he was thinking about a year of Russian literature. Tom - 14/01/2010 07:18:53 PM 807 Views
I wondered about that. Legolas - 14/01/2010 08:04:32 PM 750 Views
A couple of thoughts Tom - 15/01/2010 01:46:25 AM 710 Views
Huh. You're the second person I've ever seen refer to that book as Demons. Ghavrel - 15/01/2010 05:35:19 AM 783 Views
That is the correct name. Tom - 15/01/2010 01:14:54 PM 560 Views

I disagree with Tom that Marquez sucks... Legolas - 11/01/2010 04:09:54 PM 711 Views

I suppose if you're interested in the development of the thriller/adventure novel, Cooper is okay. Ghavrel - 11/01/2010 02:04:29 PM 661 Views
Because I already bought it as number 3 of a 3-for-2 . *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 02:06:38 PM 262 Views
