thanks!
my pc crashed recently and i'm using someone else's mobile
a bit rusty myself but it's coming back
those asterix books help, having roman antagonists

xxxvii
"h" is for homicide, sue grafton
had to use wiktionary and learn me some words in sgrafton's vocabulary

hey, another glaser book! my iiird

xxxviii
I is for Innocent, Sue Grafton
finally put this to rest after a mild case of reader's block
wikipedia says kinsey wrecked her vw here
i believe it happened at "g"
i haven't found a copy of "k" yet, oh well

also, i'm wising up and trying the add book/author thingy here

xxxix
The Law of Nines, Terry Goodkind
i needed to go to my home province and chose this as my travel reading
i hope to finish it while there so i can leave the book with my ma (she asks for my books so i ship her a few once in a while) and save me logistics costs
i managed to do so and racked up a few weird coincidences in the process: started this after reading ix kinsey millhone stories in succession (a through i), finished this on ixseptember (ixth month) at roughly ix in the morning

xl
Pirate Latitudes, Michael Crichton
while away visiting my folks, i saw this sold with Micro as a ii-book set
i couldn't resist and since i'm not reading anything (i left my ton of books back home) i went ahead and purchased the set (the same books are also sold individually for the same price as the set)

xli
Micro, Michael Crichton
the last mcrichton book i'll ever read (except when i get too lucky and find his non-fiction or the john lange and michael douglas books)
it has been a blast

xlii
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl

xliii
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More, Roald Dahl

xliv
Going Solo, Roald Dahl
iind time i've read this book
it never fails to entertain
hope to get my hands on Boy: Tales of Childhood soon

xlv
Matilda, Roald Dahl
i'm running out of rdahl paperbacks
hope to find more soon

xlvi
Roald Dahl's Incredible Chocolate Box, Roald Dahl
yep, ran out

xlvii
Rummies, Peter Benchley
started slow but eventually warmed to pbenchley's metaphorical narrative
reminded me of William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist
