  2. Nice list! I have read 6. My favorite here is probably 13. I happen to say this to several lists, so I wonder, will it be our number??
    I wouldn't mind it for mine:

  3. I have to admit to finding Satanic Verses a bit of a struggle. Song of the Lark was pretty awesome! (Had that on a spin a while back.)

  4. I'm gunning for Three Men in a Boat or Lonesome Dove as your pick.

  5. I've read and enjoyed eight of these (mostly the shorter ones). I've got some books by Keyes in my TBR for this year too! Good luck with your spin.
