I take it you're referring to me with respect to The Dresden Files.

I'm happily reading Le Rouge et Le Noir right now (see? I finally got around to it). I'm a bit more than a third of the way in so far.
If people responded to my recommendations, I might have a better idea of what recommendations are successful - so far, my greatest "success" is all the people who hate me for having recommended George R.R. Martin to them, only to find out that he's gotten through yet another year in "almost done!" mode, plus the realization that there are two more books after the "almost done!" one is published.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I think on this site at least, your recommendation of Doctor Zhivago was fairly successful... *NM*

If that is the case, I'm very happy. That book is one of my all time favorites. *NM*

I ordered de Sade in paperback as I cannot find him in hardcover. Odd, that.

She's been on my list for ages. I just never remember when I'm actually shopping.
