Ha! I did it! :-)

"It" being the completion of 50 books in 2004:

#49 Shopaholic Takes Manhattan by Sophie Kinsella: Sequel to Confessions of a Shopaholic. This book follows the adventures of Becky Bloomwood as she follows her boyfriend Luke to New York and deals with the combined pressures of living with her boyfriend and adapting to life in the US. As fun as the first of the series.

#50 The Wild Blue: The Men and Boys Who Flew the B-24s Over Germany 1944-45 by Stephen E. Ambrose: Recommended by gypsiewriter when I posted about having read Band of Brothers. I very much enjoyed this book, which follows the squadron of Army Air Force pilots of which George McGovern was a member. Ambrose's descriptions are extremely vivid, pulling the reader into the action. Highly recommended.

Excellent! (Remember when we were in school, and would read a book a day? Wish I still had that kind of time!)

Thanks!

And, yeah -- reading a book a day went the way of my two-hour (one each way) daily commute. Mind you, I don't miss the commute. I do miss the large quantities of reading time.

Congratulations!

And thanks for memory-izing8 your book posts; when I'm looking for new stuff, it's good to know it's there.

* "memorizing" just doesn't seem right, somehow.

For me, it's the lack of scheduled breaks - I usually eat lunch in front of a computer.
