Very impressive list! I've not been doing that well this year, as have discovered that while I adore my new mp3 player for the tube, I emphatically cannot read and listen at the same time. So I'm playing with my new gadget at the mo ;)

Oh, I didn't know that the McCall Smith books had come to a close. I've read up to the fourth one I think, but like you, am getting a bit tired of them. I got 'The 2 1/2 Pillars of Wisdom' for Christmas, but haven't got round to reading it yet.
