It doesn't include reference books that I've browsed rather than reading through, mostly Roleplaying Games and cook books, and is pretty much in the order that I read them.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">System of the World</span>, Neal Stephenson<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell</span>, Susanna Clarke<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The Algabraist</span>, Iain Banks<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Jamie's Dinners</span>, Jamie Oliver<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Command of the Oceans: A Naval History of Britain 1649-1815</span>, NAM Rodger<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">1632</span>, Eric Flint<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Global Frequency: Planet Ablaze</span>, Warren Ellis<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Global Frequency: Detonation Radio</span>, Warren Ellis<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince</span>, JK Rowling<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Incubus Dreams</span> (Anita Blake 12), Laurell K. Hamilton<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Storm Front</span> (Dresden Files 1), Jim Butcher<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Fool Moon </span>(Dresden Files 2), Jim Butcher<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Thud!</span>, Terry Pratchett<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Silverfin</span> (Young Bond 1), Charlie Higgins<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Hovercar Racer</span>, Matthew Reilly<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Raven's Gate</span> (Power of Five 1), Anthony Horowitz<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Anansi Boys</span>, Neil Gaiman<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Desolation Island</span> (Aubrey/Maturin 5), Patrick O'Brian<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Grave Peril</span> (Dresden Files 3), Jim Butcher<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Bell, Book and Murder</span> (The Bast Novels: Speak Daggers to Her, Book of Moons, The Bowl of Night), Rosemary Edghill<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Summer Knight</span> (Dresden Files 4), Jim Butcher<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Death Mask</span> (Dresden Files 5), Jim Butcher<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">101 Dalmatians</span>, Dodie Smith<br /><br />It's better than I expected; particularly given that I was reading <span style="font-style: italic;">Command of the Oceans</span> for ages. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the list for 2006...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14755036-113735168540517294?l=jag7.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JamesGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17454897494985983271noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14755036.post-1122147142192664282005-07-23T20:26:00.000+01:002005-07-23T20:32:22.196+01:00I'm not sure what I'm going to talk about, but hey, everyone else seems to have a blog (random sample of bloggers asked) so why not. I'll probably talk about things that I think are neat and worth mentioning, rant and ramble about life, the universe and everything, and generally get ignored by the universe in general. Mostly it will be an excuse to actually write more (which I've been bad at lately).<br />Anyway, that's the first post, don't you wonder why you read it? I'm off to do something more productive. Or maybe watch TV.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14755036-112214714219266428?l=jag7.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JamesGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17454897494985983271noreply@blogger.com1
