We seem to share a similar taste in books. I am going to have to start a list of my own. Thanks for the great idea. Hey what a great idea - that was fun to read through.

WE had several books in common which is great beacuase I've been looking for a good book to really sink my teeth into and I'll be able to pick a few from your list with confidence that I'll probably like it. I've been stuck in a slow book for awhile! Yuck.. Have you read The Life of Pi ? or The Kite Runner? Both good books. Thanks for sharing your list.

I'm considering reading that again soon, just because I can. And 'A Walk in the Woods' was one of the few books I've ever read that made me laugh out loud in a public place. As someone who has done a fair bit of hiking/backpacking/camping(and once had delusions about through-hiking the AT), and not always with the most prepared of companions, many of those stories made me laugh my a** off.....possibly even when they shouldn't have.

I'm so bad about keeping track of the books I read. But I'm always looking for some new titles, especially when it's my pick for my bookgroup. There's a few titles on there that I've been wanting to read so I'll make sure to suggest them. Thanks for being so diligent with the list. I’m so bad about keeping track of the books I read.

I didn't think to count how many there were... and I only based it on what I blogged. I don't think I wrote about ANY of our book club books. (And I didn't read many.) I'm planning on posting about my reads (high brow or low; liked or disliked) and doing a compilation at the end of this year. In fact, I'll even post my 2006 summary. Hope you are well... and still nimble. I made a summary… I didn’t think to count how many there were… and I only based it on what I blogged. I don’t think I wrote about ANY of our book club books.

I think I got the Historian from your blogpost, and just finished it: excellent. I kept a list, but can’t find the first half.

I'm thinking of doing a photo a month of the books I read that month, which means mine's due (gulp) tomorrow. You know, The Year of Magical Thinking is a bit of a mystery to me. I read it because my group of friends recently suffered a great and sudden loss. We all decided to read the book and it left some of us- myself included- cold. I thought her research into grief was fascinating, but I found her very difficult to relate to. That and the constant name-dropping bothered me a bit. I suppose on such a subject that it's hard to speak to everyone. What a fun list! I’m thinking of doing a photo a month of the books I read that month, which means mine’s due (gulp) tomorrow.
