As to non-fiction, I read tons for research purposes and rarely review those. For pleasure I tend to read biographies and science books with a little humor thrown in now and then.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11541934503758478342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-32044127260789215032013-05-31T17:24:19.976-04:002013-05-31T17:24:19.976-04:00Looks like an interesting list!

Iron Curtain ...I like your rules for your reviews.<br /><br />Iron Curtain has been on my TBR list for a while. I read Applebaum's 'Gulag' and really enjoyed it, I'm hoping this one is as good.DeniseFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476386776444158881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-22243039930786691182013-05-31T15:09:37.414-04:002013-05-31T15:09:37.414-04:00I like your ethics.

That makes sense to me.<br /><br />You're right, these kinds of things make a big difference in the long run! :)Livia @ Butterfly-o-Meter Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900492244197943143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-38143137061372157872013-05-31T14:05:05.231-04:002013-05-31T14:05:05.231-04:00I like not reviewing books you don't/can't...I like not reviewing books you don't/can't finish.
