I got this from a message board, and modified it a bit. The idea is simple: Suppose that for some reason you had to pare your library down to 25 single volumes, plus 1 series. You're allowed to read other books, but these 25 (plus 1) are the only books you're allowed to keep or to reread.

(The original meme said 20 books plus 1 series, but that would be inhuman. I think there's something in the Geneva Convention about it.)

You can put the series anywhere in your list, but mark it with an asterisk.

Here are mine . . .

The Strand will be serializing a recently discovered unfinished Graham Greene novel. I know Greene is one of those "love him or hate him" authors, but I'm in the "love him" column, and I also love my fiction serialized, so this is good news all around for me. You can subscribe here -- and bonus good news: They've got a rediscovered Wodehouse story too!
