Alphabetical by author. After trimming out all the books I
hadn't read, ones I didn't think should be on the list, and
then ones I thought were too minor (like Cora from THE
POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE), I still had a lot left. Tough
choices, and they'd be different next week, but probably not
too much. Like Mr. Wilson I wrote in James Figueras.
