interlude: the saddest footnote in the world

I am almost ashamed to say that I do not have a list of favorite books I've read in 2005 because, sadly, I didn't read sufficiently in 2005 to be able to do so. I say almost because my writing is on the upswing as of September after a 3-year drought, and I've been listening to lots of new work by local artists. But reading has taken a hit of late, and I hope to rectify that in 2006.

In the words of Jack Lucas: forgive ME.
