That's quite an enviable haul, Eric.

What are your best-loved five books of 2007 that you've read?
wow. that's serious book-shopping :p but interesting choices, nevertheless.
It has been some time since I last bought a book. Thus the bingeing. Yes, I may have a serious compulsive disorder!
Hopefully it isn't vengeance that caused the bingeing. It tends to be the/a reason for compulsive disorders.
