Keeping in mind that most of these books are available on both sides of the pond, publishers like Gollancz, etc, would get a couple. . .

Yes, if you make the count, there are 6 books that I've read but which remain reviewless. I'll get to it as time permits. . . Two were travel guidebooks. If your curiosity has gotten the best of you, the remaining four include Steven Erikson's Crack'd Pot Trail (Canada, USA, Europe), Stephen King's The Drawing of the Three (Canada, USA, Europe), The Dervish House (Canada, USA, Europe), and Mark Steyn's America Alone (Canada, USA, Europe). Based on the reactions caused by the Easter quote, I'm still debating whether or not I'll review Steyn's book, even though I think that most people should read it, be you a Leftist or a Rightist.

I'm also doing my best to finish both Jim Butcher's Grave Peril (Canada, USA, Europe), and Swords & Dark Magic edited by Lou Anders and Jonathan Strahan (Canada, USA, Europe) before catching that plane to Slovenia. . .

If all goes well, I should be able to maintain my 40+ novels read average per year in 2010. Traipsing around Eastern Europe and the Balkans could slow me down, but it's all in the name of rock and roll!;-)

Still don't know why I've been asked to do this, but what the heck!?!
