What a wonderful list. I'm saving it for reference.
I too need to finish Hirsh. I loved it, and I don't know why I stopped reading it.
Wow. :D The Bird lady sounds interesting to me! :D
That's one amazing list! I'm sure you'll have a good reading year :)
Wow! Many titles that I have not heard of. Thanks for sharing your list.
Happy Reading!

Lisa, I can't understand why our local library doesn't have The Deluxe Transitive Vampire! I thought that one at least would be no trouble to find. They do have both of the Anderson sci fi/fantasy books, and the book about T.S. Eliot.
Home Economics by Berry & the book on T.S. Eliot by Russell Kirk would be on my list if I could find them here. Our local libraries are quite good for the well known classics but I've noticed in the 14 years that we've been in the area that more & more of even these are disappearing from the shelves.
