so I rescued a fair bunch off the stack, including one I've been meaning to read for years (Robert Graves' I, Claudius), some ancient history, and a few random novels, including one by Baroness Orczy (A Bride of the Plains) that could be entertaining, judging by The Scarlet Pimpernel.

I had sort of reduced my owned-but-not-yet-read stack for a moment there, but now it's obviously grown back a good bit... guess we can only bravely soldier on and try to reduce it again! There's still some Erikson (The Crippled God) on there, Hermann Hesse (Steppenwolf), Julio Cortazar (Rayuela / Hopscotch) as well now, and various others.
