Well, in the world of “that’s not really progress,” I now have several novels I haven’t read scattered around the house, not being read. Any chance you’ve found a US list to make me feel better?

I wouldn’t worry too much, you might do better on an equivalent US list. The US and UK are pretty close, but I find there are a lot of things that never make it from one side of the pond to another.

Wow, that was depressing. Scanning through, I think I’ve read about 75? of these books (didn’t count ones I can’t remember well enough or ones I didn’t like enough to finish, but still). I’d told Chris last month to get me some fiction because lately all I’ve been interested in reading has been nonfiction – which has been good stuff, don’t get me wrong, but perhaps a bit out of balance. On the plus side, the poverty of my reading was nicely spread out between the categories, and I can say that I’ve at least read works not on the list but by included authors.
