3. Jim Butcher, Storm Front (abandoned)
4. Gene Wolfe, The Book of the New Sun

6. A.S. Byatt, Possession
7. Brandon Sanderson, (Pretty much anything, read all except Way of Kings and unpublished books and those books for kids)
8. George R.R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire (read the books out, slightly irritated that Gena recommended the books now that he can't put out Book V to save his soul)

10. David McCollough, 1776 (read)
11. Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express (read)

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I kind of figure there are too many classics and older good books I haven't read yet, I guess.
