I. Declare. BANKRUPTCY!

Is this counting the authors who publish every year? Because aren't there several you follow?

You'll have to watch less TV.

Yeah--but I threw in the ones that I knew about (Jodi Picoult, Laura Lippman, Elizabeth Berg, etc.).

[this is good]
I'm glad to see American Tabloid on there. It and the sequel (The Cold 6000) are all the Ellroy you'll really need. You'll probably feel like taking a shower as you read them.

I thought of you the other night. This lady at work brought three giant boxes of books she'd read. I grabbed five. I love when people do that. It's not about getting money or anything, it's about making sure the books get read.

Well, and that you don't trip over them any longer. ;-)
Oh my word I thought mine was bad lol

I think I read the Cold 6000 already. Oops.

I read The Black Dahlia and really liked it.

What books did you grab? I love books. As you know. :)

Should you make it up to Baltimore (in a real or imaginary trip like your dream visit to LA), we will have to go to Book Thing, which is an awesome bookstore where the books are free and you can take as many as you want--like a library, except they are yours forever.

There was a James Patterson I hadn't read--his NYPD detective. Also Lisey's Story by Stephen King, Hunter's Moon by Randy somebody (my brother recommended it), a Dr Temperence Brennan novel by the lady who inspired "Bones," and one other one I can't remember.

I should make a roadtrip up to Baltimore/DC next year. My best friend lives in Columbia, and little brother is in DC. As long as gas keeps getting cheaper, it might just happen. :-)

Lisey's Story is awesome.

I keep trying to read Temperence Brennan novels and they don't work for me. I've read two so far and I haven't liked either,

I love "Bones," but much of that is the cast chemistry. Temperence Brennan could be very annoying, I imagine, if it weren't for the lovely Zooey Deschanel's big sister playing her.
Good heavens! What a list! Good luck with it. You've got some great books ahead.
I've never seen the show; it's very possible I'd love that.
Thanks. :) We'll see what happens to me and my eyesight at the end of the year.
The show is spectacular. There's amazing chemistry between Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, and the dialog is smart and funny. I think it's on tonight at 8, on Fox. I have to work Wednesday nights, so I just catch it later on hulu.com.
I'm sure I'll rejoin Netflix at some point; when I do, I'll catch up. :)
You're funny! I couldn't even get through your list! #4 is EXCELLENT! (I'm sure other's are too). I wish I knew how to read.
That's an impressive list. Good luck!
Thanks. :) We'll see how it goes, but I am cautiously optimistic.
Quite an impressive list! It was nice to see some of my favourites here. I loved 'The Silver Pigs' by Lindsey Davis very much. Hoping to read her other books in the series. 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco is one of my alltime favourites. After seeing it on your list, I am thinking of reading it again. I liked Kazuo Ishiguro's 'The Remains of the Day' and liked it very much. I haven't read his 'Never Let Me Go' but I have heard that it is very good too. I haven't read 'The Little Friend' by Donna Tartt, but have it on my reading list. I have read her 'The Secret History' and liked it very much, though it was a dark book. I discovered 'The Geography of Bliss' accidentally last year and I loved it! I read 'The Eight' by Katherine Neville a few years back and I liked the French background (during the times of the revolution) and the chess background of the book. Hope you are able to read all the books that you have planned to read. All the best!
