    I think that's an excellent list you've compiled, Sean. I thoroughly enjoyed the five books I've read off your best of list.

    I also completely agree about the awfulness that was Tell-All! And am likewise looking forward to many of the same books. I've already read Sacre Bleu, of course, and already have copies of The Lunatics and The Technologists that I'm looking forward to reading in the immediate future.
