Reading list for 2005

Here's what I've read so far this year... at least the stuff I can remember off-hand. There might be a few others, and if I can't remember them easily, they must not have made much of and impression. And, of course, I'm leaving out the geeky work-related stuff:

The Gifts of the Jews
Gates of Fire
Tides of War
The First Man in Rome
Microserfs
The Virtues of War

... and I'm currently working on:
Heaven

and I try to start each morning out with this...

If I were to pick out the one that I think was the "best", I'd say Gates of Fire.

Were am I getting all of these titles, you ask? From here. Hugh sent me on a reading assignment when I got partway into this book.
