Recent books I've read...
|
|
This is just a sampling of the shelf I have in the living room. As I remember
more I'll add to the list. I'm afraid I've thrown out all the bad
books, so I can't list any for you to stick clear of. Oh well, find out
for yourself.
I like alot of stuff that others would look down on merely because they
haven't tried it or consider it pulp. Well fine, screw 'em. I like
it. If you have similar tastes to mine and think I've been missing out on
something, please give me a clue.
Jump to Good books,
Ok books,
Not-so-good books,
and unfinished books.

Now that I think of it,
I'm half way (or so) through the following. For
some reason or other I haven't picked these up to finish them off. Again,
send me a beep if you think I'm
being lame about not finishing any of these.
