This is written in response to the challenge posted by Monica Formerly Kennedy soon to be Zenberg (divorce) in the Two Word Challenge Group where we'd list 30 things we'd like to accomplish in the next 30 years, support each other, and add 20 more items as soon as we complete 20 items so we have a perpetual list (I'm going to have to do it at 5 things because I'm impatient.) I live by lists and goals and most of these were already on my list when we got the challenge. Many of the items are themselves lists. I'll be posting all of my lists to Lists, Lists, and More Lists

I have read a lot of those and even a few that you haven't. While I wouldn't have included it on the list, American Psycho was good. I think that it gets a bad rep because of the movie. It really did have an effect on me, I found myself drinking San Pelligrino afterwards:)
As with all such lists not everyone agrees, but what else is new??
It's a fine story, but I wouldn't suggest writing an in-depth essay and handing it in to an English teacher...
I may or may not have read Small Gods, I can't remember off hand...
There are several on here that are currently in the stack of books by my bed waiting to be read, guess I better get busy...
This is a short, gripping reading of 95 pages available through Amazon.com or my publisher XLibris at 1-888-795-4274x479 or www.xlibris.com/WhatPricePriesthood
I will send a free book to anyone who will agree to read and write a good review of it. Let me know if you are interested. I can be reached at judithbeckman@peoplepc.com
I have read 20 of these - but since i prefer non-fiction, i tend 2 bypass a lot of fiction - but i will read fiction books if they r strongly recommended. i recently ordered this non-fiction book http://digg.com/d1s32z
