I read them in this order. There's much less than in 2006 mainly because of Against the Day which was a large mountain to climb.

Intellect:Mind Over Matter Mortimer J Adler 1990 Meaty stuff.
Laurel Canyon Michail Walker 2006 The Inside Story of Rock and Roll’s Legendary Neighborhood: My Review Here.
Heroes and Villains: The True Story of the Beach Boys Steven Gaines 1986 That’s one screwed up group.
The Collectors David Balducci 2006 Airplane Read: very bad
Technopoly Neil Postman 1992 Tells how computers affect us. Dated but good.
Dead Aim Thomas Perry 2002 Airplane read: very bad.
Justine Lawrence Durrell 1957 If you could get drunk on words this would be 90 proof.
Scar Tissue William G. Tapply 2006 Local author.

Flash Forward Robert J Sawyer 1999 Good conceptual sci-fi.

Fermat’s Enigma Simon Singh 1997 Excellent book on cracking Fermat’s Theorem.
The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency Alexander McCall Smith 1998 The pits.
Foucault’s Pendulum Umberto Eco 1988 A reread for me to see if it really was as convoluted as I remembered it, it was.
John Peel Mick Wall 2004 Bio - I love even the idea of John Peel .
Nunquam Lawrence Durrell 1970 Spotty but worth it.
Things Fall Apart Chinua Achebe 1959 An answer to The Heart of Darkness. Good.

How to Talk About Books You Haven’t Read Pierre Bayard 2007 Fun and witty but not the cliff notes for talking about the classics people might think it is.
