Greetings again, everyone! The demon shoulder isn't quite back to normal, and heaven only knows when it'll formally get treated, but it's fairly livable. Still trying to get the hang of using heavy-duty painkillers without ending up stoned all the time, though.
Since everyone else is doing it, here's a book meme. These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of today). As usual, bold what you have read, italicize those you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. Add an asterisk to those you've read more than once. Underline those on your to-read list. Added by me: put a # by the ones you've studied or taught.
