13. Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert. I thought I'd hate it, but I didn't. I think I'm fairly neutral on it overall. It felt a bit smug at times. What, you mean everyone can't run off for a year and move to Italy and then head to India to live on at an ashram?


14. Sir Apropos of Nothing, Peter David. Oh god, the puns. (The insane male offspring of the Harpies? They're called the Harpers Bizarre.)


15. King Solomon's Ring, Konrad Lorenz.


16. Small Favor, Jim Butcher.


17. The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring, Richard Preston. If an enormous redwood falls in a book and nobody's around to hear me sniffling about it, did the weepy stuff really happen?


18. Black Lizard Anthology of Crime Fiction, Edward Gorman (ed.). Spotty.


19. Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, Cory Doctorow. For some reason, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this. If I'd known at the time I bought this (for like $1.50-ish) that it would be so hard to find, I'd have picked up a few extra copies for friends.


20. A Lick of Frost, Laurell K. Hamilton. Why do her heroines go from "interesting" to "Emo McWhinypants" over the course of the series? Without going into specifics, my reaction to the ending was "Jubnu, QRHF RK ZNPUVAN! Naq n fghcvq bar, ng gung. Jryy, gung'f njshyyl qnza pbairavrag, vaavg? Naq lrg zber natfg, bu wbl."
