Book 13 – Creature Discomforts – Susan Conant (finished 02/16/2004)
When I was at the library picking up the February selection for
Book 14 – The Wicked Flea – Susan Conant (finished 02/17/2004)
Another “Dog Lover's Mystery”. These don't have to be read in order, but there is continuity you'll appreciate if you do. The first one is “A New Leash on Death”.
Motherless Brooklyn – Jonathan Lethem
I did not finish this book. I read a couple of chapters, and just could not get into it. As near as I could tell, the narrator is a gang member with Tourette's. The person who recommended it to me loved it, so I guess it has merit, but I wasn't in to it.
Book 15 – The Fires of Heaven (The Wheel of Time, Book 5) – Robert Jordan (finished 02/25/2004)
Good, evil, end of the world. You know the drill. I don't know why I started it this year, when book 11 isn't due out until spring 2005 (if then), but I did and now I can't stop. Tell me, is there a support group for Wheel of Time addicts?
Book 16 – Lord of Chaos (The Wheel of Time, Book 6) – Robert Jordan (finished 02/28/2004)
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Wait a minute… I thought Robert Jordan was dead.

If he is, I’ll kill him!
Nah, he was alive and kicking as of February 1 anyway. According to Dragonmount, he’s progressing well on Book 11:
“Book Eleven is coming along nicely, though I still don’t have a title for it. That usually comes late in the writing. I am still hoping to finish in two more books, counting this one. In any event, there will be a few things resolved in the eleventh book.”
Thank god. An end in sight….
