Well, I figured that too rebelaessedai Send a noteboard - 11/01/2010 03:21:11 PM
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.

Hehe. I suppose I'll have a few of "those kinds" of books on my list this year as well. I guess I just have a soft spot for some of those less heard of but wonderful stories. I did already read Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang, which is a classic, and I actually found it was very good.
Iain Banks is fucked up, btw. I read The Wasp Factory last year? no, the year before. That was cracked.

Interestingly random list. Legolas - 10/01/2010 05:55:51 PM 714 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 682 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 451 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 699 Views
I wondered about that. Legolas - 14/01/2010 08:04:32 PM 640 Views
A couple of thoughts Tom - 15/01/2010 01:46:25 AM 594 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 659 Views
That is the correct name. Tom - 15/01/2010 01:14:54 PM 450 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 543 Views
Because I already bought it as number 3 of a 3-for-2 . *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 02:06:38 PM 200 Views
