I'm not sure I can remember all the books I've read so far this year. Of course there are the kid's stuff I read to my son, but I won't count those. Let's see... I read the whole "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. A series of fantasy novels by Tamara Pierce called "The Immortals" (they're kind of for teenagers but I love the author). "Illusions" by Richard Bach, which I read at least every couple of months or so because I get so much out of it. A book on ogham, the title of which escapes me at the moment. "Bonewits' Essential Guide to Druidism" by Isaac Bonewits.
That's about all I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure there's more.

I read the first for Hitchhikers books in December. I need to find book five because somehow my collection is missing that one.

I looked at Borders and they only had the bound collection... so I will probably have to get it from ebay which is where I got the other books to begin with.

I never keep track but I read everyday and no sooner finish one book when I pick up another. I read some Douglas Adams years ago and forgot all about how entertaining he is until I saw your post. Lilian Jackson Braun sounds familiar also, so I must have read at least one of her books.

Wow! 8 books already this year, that is very impressive, I actually made a new year's resolution to read more, sadly it hasn't happened, I haven't even finished the one book I have started this year, it was an autobiography which I used to like about a footballer, it was about his addiction but I got so fed up with it that I gave up!
1. An Autobiography of Tony Adams
Will try and find another suitable read that I can actually finish next time!

That is a lot of books in only 2 months. I, sadly, seem to be reading less. THis is probably because I read a lot at work- but not books, unfortunately.
I have read this year:
1) Casino Royal- Ian Flemming
2) Running with Sissors- Augusten Borroughs
and I'm currently reading Water for Elephants. I can't remember the author's name- something Anne...?
