What a great list! Thank you for the many in that list that you recommended and shared with me. Since I don't keep a log of books I read, I'd have to search the garage, etc. But I think the best book I read was The Quincunx. At 900+ pages it should count extra. : ) And I JUST bought a spare copy in Camden for 25 cents. YES!
