Subject: RE: BS: Lets count the books we read in 2011
I can't be sure what all I've read in these first two and a half months of 2011, but it includes these.
POST CAPTAIN Patrick O'Brian
PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF JOAN OF ARC Mark Twain
OUR MAGNIFICENT BASTARD TONGUE: The untold history of English John H. McWhorter
And right now I'm reading HMS Surprise Patrick O'Brian and The Stone of Farewell Tad Williams
Actually I should have said "re-read" Post Captain and "re-reading" HMS Surprise and The Stone of Farewell. I've arranged the O'Brian Aubrey/Maturin novels in chronological order (both of publication and of "historical" action), and am working through the series again. That man wrote SO well!
And I can say much the same thing for Tad Williams. The Stone of Farewell is the second of an excellent fantasy trilogy, the first and third books being The Dragonbone Chair and The Green Bell Tower.
