2008/50, or not.

I'm halfway through reading Tanglewreck, by Jeanette Winterson: it's marvellous, and I'm enjoying it very much, and I'm damned if I'm going to spoil either the book or Real Life by rushing through the last 150 pages in the next few hours, just so I can say I've hit the 50-book target.

It can be my first book of 2009.

Reading-resolution for next year is to read more actual books, and less stuff online. Also, a little less fiction and more fact: I have all these fascinating history, science, psychology, travel books longing to be enjoyed!
Okay, do these count as 1? (Now available in a single volume, which at ~600pp is about novel-length.) Or 3? (I read three separate volumes, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] la_marquise_de.) Or 0, since they're rereads?

The Riddlemaster trilogy -- Patricia McKillip (comprising The Riddlemaster of Hed, Heir of Sea and Fire and Harpist in the Wind).
