Wow! Okay, I don't feel so bad about my own TBR pile. :D
I'll be interested in your opinion of Hobb's Assassin trilogy; I'm fond of it, although it is frustrating in some ways.
Heh, yeah, people send me books and I pick them up used at library book sales or online and often forget about a couple of them.
And then there are the nonfiction books that I've only read a chapter or two of, but never read cover to cover.
Over the past few years that has added up.
And I just ordered another used book of science essays today. :-)
I figure it will take me probably two years to get through this list, since I'm reading library books and getting new books now and then as well.
Wow, yeah, I have a pile, but it ain't like that pile. You may have more books in your TBR pile than I have period. :)
Hobb is good, I like the Assassin books, but oddly I'm reading the Liveship books and I'm in the middle of book 2 and I kinda just stopped and went on to other things.
Well, most the nonfiction stuff I've read chunks of, just not the whole thing.
I'd say about half a dozen or more of the fiction works are things you've given me over the years that I haven't gotten around to reading.
And with the anthologies, often I got them for $8 or less largely because I wanted to read a handful of stories in them. I read those stories and then didn't read the rest in a lot of cases, so now I want to do that to see what I might have missed.
In general with fantasy I realized that I've accumulated reading material but just not done a lot of reading in the genre, which I should probably do more of if I want to try to write in it. :-)
