Daaaaaave! Now these are the laundry lists I LIKE!! Because I've always got my nose in someone or another's biography, I miss a lot of the good fiction out there. Thank you for sharing!
(And thank you for adding my buddy Larry's book in the nonfiction section! He is comedic genius... and a really nice person.)
I put Larry's book in the list only because I read it (by your recommendation, by the way), and I linked it because I it was a good read. It changed him from being the "buttsteak" guy on Letterman (a long, looong ago memory) to a decent, funny human being.
i knew it, i knew it, you are a friggin geek bookworm. and i love you anyway. a regular texas oprah.
