A personal take on 100 books

Here's my own personal, eclectic take on the 100 books meme.

In this case:

( 25 works of fiction in English post 1900 )

( 25 works of fiction in English pre 1900 )

( 25 works of fiction not written in English )

( 25 works of non-fiction )

An interesting exercise for me. In the first category it was hard to know what to leave out. The list could have been much longer. The second group, I really struggled to find 25 books that I like.

Package

My Amazon package arrived; Proust, boxed set of the new translation, Robert Massie's Castles of Steel and Red Dwarf seasons 3 & 4 on DVD.

Whoo hoo!

Icky Icky

Yesterday we had just about all known forms of precipitation short of the biblical ones; snow, sleet, ice pellets, freezing rain, rain. Last night the roads and side walks were a real mess. Then it froze overnight! Running today was unamusing; much hard to spot ice, deep pools of icy slush covered with an inadequate frozen crust, uneven patches of snow frozen hard in ankle twisting patterns.
