I love it when that happens.<br /><br />In related news I bough No Country For Old Men for my father in law for Christmas ... and he read it in a day. We don't usually get along too well, but now we're loaning each other books (he wanted to borrow The Road to get a little more of "Cormac is the Man").<br /><br />See ya next year Bryan!Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423907132654588993.post-9737312138022075222010-12-24T07:49:18.264-05:002010-12-24T07:49:18.264-05:00@ Carolina
That's okay! I think that's so...@ Carolina<br /><br />That's okay! I think that's sort of the fun of end of the year lists, getting to see what other people are reading and hopefully finding some new books to read.<br /><br />I love finding new books.

Some of them I've also heard from others so I'll have to check them out...the consensus is to read them. =) Congrats on your 200th post.<br /><b><a href="http://nitewriter6.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Edge of Your Seat Romance</a></b>Raquel Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870113745683162915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423907132654588993.post-49066897898969991822010-12-22T18:25:25.502-05:002010-12-22T18:25:25.502-05:00Wonderful post.
All those books... makes me want...Wonderful post. <br /><br />All those books... makes me want to run to a bookstore or head to my town's ancient little library. <br /><br />I read two tons of books this past year, but my mind is fried right now and I can't think of their titles... except The Third Man. I recommend that one. And I read the WIPs of a couple of writer friends, all great stuff.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the far side of Xmas because I'm about to query my novel. The damned thing is really really really really ready this time. Really.<br /><br />Merry Christmas, everybody.HGrantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423907132654588993.post-54126271562512906862010-12-22T13:32:48.763-05:002010-12-22T13:32:48.763-05:00Yeah, I liked The Lies of Locke Lamora.

I have a bad habit of that these days.<br /><br />And <i>Light Boxes</i> is a weirdly awesome little book. And, I suppose, could have fit in the fantasy section as easily as the Literary one. Regardless, it's wonderful.Bryan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555071335245492790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423907132654588993.post-32925487978844723482010-12-22T13:24:51.259-05:002010-12-22T13:24:51.259-05:00Oh, boy.

February, LOL.<br /><br />My favorite fantasy series (despite a few flaws), btw, is Scott Lynch's books starring Locke Lamora, beginning with the brilliant The Lies of Locke Lamora. <br /><br />Optimism is cheap, the hussy. I love her anyway. :)R.S. Bohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101260459422806220noreply@blogger.com
