PRC '09
Personal reading challenges for '09 (= books I want to read/subjects I want to read about that didn't slot easily into other challenges)Two books featuring Elizabeth I:
1. This Sceptr'd Isle by Mercedes Lackey possibly
2.
I'm abandoning this one, out of lack of interest. I did start This Sceptr-d Isle but didn't manage to finish it.
Two non-fiction books relating to Darwinian literary studies:
1. The Art Instinct by Denis Dutton
2.
Other possibilities, if I can get hold of them:
On the Origin of Stories: Evolution, Cognition and Fiction by Brian Boyd
Graphing Jane Austen: Human Nature in British Novels of the Longer 19th Century by Carroll, Johnson, Kruger and Gottschall
A whole lot of Jim Butcher books. I want to reread most, if not all, of the Dresden Files novels before the new one comes out in April and also give his high fantasy series a go.

This ship has sailed—I got through a few of the Dresden Files before I read Turn Coat but not many.

Heheh! I like this quote!
Me too! I think Cap'n Sparrow says the same thing about opportunities in Pirates of the Carribean.
Yes!!! Love that reminds me of the due dates for papers....
I think you're right about Sparrow. I was watching POTC until my dad changed the channel. And of course they're just not as good on DVD..
I THOUGHT I'd heard it somewhere before! I just couldn't remember where! :P
