Lots of repeats this year. I read Forever Amber while taking a class on Tudor Stuart England. We were supposed to pick a work of fiction about the time and write a paper on "truth in fiction". Apparently my prof didn't think it was a sufficiently serious work since I only made a C! ;( but I loved that naughty Amber.
Ernie Pyle, what a guy. Just think what he might have written if he had lived.

I read 10 of these 20 books, six of the fiction and 4 of the nonfiction. That was in the days when I had some likelihood of being influenced more in my reading choices by the bestseller list.

I've read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Razor's Edge, Green Dolphin Street and Anna and the King of Siam. Just last week I picked up a copy of Here is Your War, but it was in pretty poor shape and I didn't keep it long enough to read it.

The Curtain Rises now has 36.
The Time for Decision has 60. Note the above link for this book is wrong
