Single?
9:00 p.m. / 21:00
Evidently this is the beginning of National Singles Week, or National Unmarried or Single Americans Week. I'm not entirely certain I care (even though I am single and probably should care), but it's kind of interesting.

BIG NOVEL LIST
1:50p.m. / 13:50
I'm not going to name any names or screen names, but when I wrote the novel inventory post, someone asked for a list of what books I have. Well, here it is. This is a complete list of every novel I own. As of posting time, it is quite accurate, but it is of course subject to change at any time in the future. It is quite long. I wasted a lot of time doing this.
Some things to remember while looking the list over:
1. This is a list of novels. It does not include any non-fiction, old textbooks, reference-type books, comics, novelty books etc. that I own.
2. Many of these books and authors have not appeared on here before, but I am not going to highlight all of them now. They will be highlighted the next time they make an appearance.
3. The 53% of the novels I have read are marked by a ~.
4. I read library books too. A lot of the books I've written about before will not be on this list.
And now, without further ramblings, I present to you the BIG NOVEL LIST:
