Halfway Mark, 2010
At the six-month mark (or nearly, but I'm not going to finish either of my current books before then), I've read sixty-four books. Just over half - thirty-three - have been new fiction; twenty-two have been rereads, and the remaining nine nonfiction. (I'm sometimes uncertain whether to class a book as a reread or new; generally, even if I know I've read it before, if I have no or next to no memory of it - even as I read - then I count it as new.) The complete list is under the cut.

Dewdney, The Planiverse; Gordon Dickson, The Final Encyclopedia; Eric Flint, Time Spike; Dick Francis, For Kicks and Driving Force; Pat Frank, Alas, Babylon*; C. S.
