Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA		I own 5 non-genre books myself that I want to read this year, amid all my genre books. I'm reading one now, by Colm Tolbin. I also want to read Jodi Picoult and a few non-fictions that have been gathering dust on my shelf. They are all new authors to me. I got most of the books I'm reading for this challenge at a used book vendor at the Oregon SF Convention last November: Delaney, Simak, Silverberg, del Rey, to name a few. They were books that I was pretty sure I'd have to get via interlibrary loan, i.e. older, less popular books, if I could find them at libraries at all. This has become my year to read what I own before going to the library.

I definitely agree with you about Wolfe. I read Book of the New Sun last year and was blown away. I also think Simak deserves to be read more and better remembered.
