I've had a down year and probably read about that same amount. Of course, a bunch of those were YA schlock, sk they don't really count lime the, likely, substantive stuff you've read. [Reply]

pft, i just finished the malazan book of the fallen series (or what's out yet) that's 10 right there. I'd probably wager I've read at least 30 this year.
Now I'm kind of curious, i'll have to try to figure out what I've read this year. [Reply]
Unfortunately, I've taught 10 courses in this calendar year alone. All my reading time has been taken up by grading student papers, course prep, and reading the assignments from the lit classes I teach.
I recommend The Crisis of Islam (Holy War and Unholy Terror), by Bernard Lewis. Nonfiction. Very concise read. Informative.
Also enjoyed The Road to Cana, by Anne Rice. Follow on to Out of Egypt. Not for everyone. Fictional account of the life of Jesus (Yes, I know several Planeteers think all accounts of Jesus are fictional...save your posts.) [Reply]
