More books for the list

Mid-week update. I am realizing more and more that while I might be able to read all books that I haven't read before. There are certain books that I have only read once that I might want to read again. So I have decided that as long as the details of the book are vague in my mind I will count it towards my goal.

13. I read a non-fiction book on Merlin it was an interesting read. It chronicled the various literary appearances of Merlin since his debut in Jeffery of Monmouth's history that I'm currently reading in school. The book gave me not only an insight into this famous wizard but also to Britain in general and the history of that time.

14. Today I was snowed in so after some time outside, I sat down and read The Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. I read Ender's Game once and it is one of the books I want to read again. But this book is set 3000 years later with the same character. You might ask how its possible but thanks to the wonders of Science Fiction and Einstein's theory of Relativity it is more than possible. I really appreciate Orson Scott Card's ability to tell a good story. I don't agree with some of what he's saying but the way he tells his storys is fun to read.
