I started out not having much time to read, but then changed jobs at the end of March and had 2 hours to read on my commute each way. Then I changed jobs again in November and went back to having very little time to read.
There were also more false starts; books I started reading, but wasn’t interested enough to finish. I didn’t list them, because I haven’t finished them. As a result I didn’t read as many as in 2005. Better work on that for 2007.
So here they are, listed mostly in order:
-
Shadow of the Giant, by Orson Scott Card

The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown (audio)

Re: 2006 in books
It was interesting to see how you portrayed the incident. Especially since I’d written some fanfic on it years ago.
I must admit, I think that the best thing that I said all convention had to be my ever-so-threatening, “You win this time, Ladouceur,” at the Urban Fantasy panel. And I said it into a microphone, no less. *g*
