i'm addicted to books as well! great tt.
here's mine: http://www.shebecameabutterfly.net
That's a hot list, from a hot chick. I would not have expected any less.
Me? I love me some Tom Robbins. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Still Life with Woodpecker, Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates. Try it, it is sick funny stuff.
I love Ursula Le Guin - but I like her "Ged" series. We have them all and read them regularly. She was a fascinating person as well. Great list.
Happy TT
I forgot all about the Rama series; great books! I'll bet you'd like Slan. Shoot! I can't remember who wrote it!
I need to read more often again like I used to. I love Amy Tan!
I loved the Mary Stewart Merlin Trilogy. Have you read Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising series? Great books. I'm very nervous about the movie.
Happy TT!

Great book list! Not a day goes by that I don't indulge in a bit of pleasure reading. :D
Happy TT!
Great book list! I allow myself time for pleasure reading every day.

OMG, who would've thought? Ursula Le Guin rocks!! So does Chrichton!
I love Le Guin's Wizard of Earthsea series (well...the first three anyway.) Did you know that her parents were the ones that wrote the book about Ishi?
