xmas break reading list - in case you were wondering...

and the final count is

1. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
2. John Steinbeck - The Chrysanthemums and Cannery Row
3. Aldous Huxley - Brave New World
4. Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg
5. The Dream Songs - John Berryman
6. Roald Dahl's Skin and other Stories
7. something magical = L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

not bad, eh?  #6 is on my bookshelf as we speak, waiting anxiously to be read, while i admit a slight amount of defeat in that i never even looked for #'s 4 or 5.  perhaps my spring break reading list will reign in completed triumph...
