Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was, Perkins. I'm not entirely sure what the status quo of the crime is. Unsettling.

I could not make it through Catch 22 to save my life. I kept getting about 20 some pages in and never wanting to look at it again.
But I'm adding Pricess of Cleeves to my Amazon.

Maybe you join me in my 24-in-a-year challenge.
...24 books in a year?
Heh. Heheheheh. Ahem. I expect to go over 365 this year.
Clearly I have too much time on my hands.
Also, it is SO DAMN COLD in Spokane that I ordered room service rather than go out to eat. I'm not sure why salmon was on the Children's Menu, but salmon with fancy mac and cheese and brussels sprouts is YUM. But not really kid's food.

You can't count annual books without meara popping up. Do you watch any TV, meara? I know you fly a lot, but 365 is crazy.

Well, my friend wanted to do one a week but realized he usually reads 8 to 10 a year so that two a month was probably more manageable.
Like me, I think he reads a lot for work.

Our wings are not tired.
Meara, most of those are YA, right? Or a lot of them? You're not reading stuff like Catch-22 and 400 page tomes, right? I rarely recognize any of the titles in your long booklists, but the way you describe them, they seem like light stuff?
ETA: this isn't about your being a super-fast reader, I already know that's the case. Just for me, the difference between reading The Nanny Diaries (a one-day read) and Main Street (Sinclair Lewis) is huge in terms of time because often with peeps like Lewis, I'll re-read paragraphs because they're so funny or well-written, etc. So it can take me a long time to get through a book.

I went through my LJ book posts and counted, and I think I'll hit 24 books by the end of the year, but I would have a lot more if you included graphic novels.
