Location: UK		Thanks Weesam,nowhere near you - you must have read 300 books this year! - but pretty good for me. SF/F has certainly dominated my reads this year,accounting for over 100 of my 182 total reads,thanks to the Defining Books challenge mostly. We owe a massive thanks to Jim for his excellent lists. I have also been eyeing the new resource,books arranged by year. I have already added an awful lot of books to the TBR!
My library system has no less than 27 P K Dick novels in stock,hidden away in the vaults of the book depository for posterity. Yet they dont have a single Silverberg. Nearly 20 Heinleins,but not a single C J Cherryh.No Sturgeon,or Sheckley,Budrys or any of those oldtimers. I am so happy I found the Open Library site,which has a huge number of those old authors available for borrowing.Without them I couldnt do the challenge at all,unless I bought at least six books. A pensioner with a big family just hasnt the cash for that.Now I can look forward to some interesting reading,free :0)
