Lists of Bests: apartmentcat's "Booky Goodness 2 - The Moderns" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/63800 Books I'm itching to get stuck into. I decided to divide my "Booky Goodness" list into two parts, because it was just becoming a little unwieldy and scary. This list also includes the non-fiction. This list could be added to, at any time, without notice! Depending on how I feel. =) See "Booky Goodness 1 - The Classics" for the Classics.
