*sigh* I skip so many books, and they all begin with "I..." - I really, really hate books written in 1st person. One of the very few exceptions I make is if I know the author from before and if I like their writing. I've been burned too many times by "I..." books to take chance on authors I don't know. Too much navel-gazing and they tend to be incredibly one dimensional.
