Books
For people who want to see the books I like and the books I read, see my library at LibraryThing by clicking this little picture: 
The rough draft of the novel I wrote for National Novel Writing Month (November 2006) is here, or if you want a pdf version to print, then click the cover I designed, below.
I think I’m going to move all of the reviews to LibraryThing. Possibly soon. Until then, they are here.

After insisting you read Nicholson Baker’s The Size of Thoughts, I’m dismayed it’s not in this list. I thought surely you’d enjoy it.
Ah, David, check: https://caveblogem.wordpress.com/2007/01/27/books-the-size-of-thoughts-by-nicholson-baker/
I’m still enjoying it.
do you know of a software that will scan a pdf file of a novel and tell how many separate words there are in it, without repeating any words? I’ve asked this previously of you…
