Seriously, folks. What the hell have I been reading? Not these, these, or these, clearly! Bad enough I was feeling bad for still having books on my Recent Reads column from October! It's not my fault! I've been reading queries and manuscripts!

Hmm, I've only read 8 1/3 (didn't read the whole Foundation trilogy). Does it count if I watched my brother read most of them?
And you must read Ender's Game. Quickly.

Hm...you should write up a list of the books you love and see what other people have read. I mean, how many people have read Geek Love? Not nearly enough, especially compared to Anne Rice's stuff. I bet your list would be interesting...
