It's time for the continuing adventures of Liz and her reading list! These are the books I read in February 2009. (Click on the cuts for summaries and reactions. I reserve the right to spoil all hell out of any book if spoilery bits are what I feel like talking about.)
WARNING: I have been very long-winded this month! Probably I should have taken my blather about Narnia and made a separate meta post, but I am too lazy to peel out and organize my thoughts, so you get them all muddled in with the summaries, more or less as they occurred to me.
New: 1
---Circumference: Eratosthenes and the Ancient Quest to Measure the Globe, Nicholas Nicastro ( nonfiction )
Old: 8
---The Northern Crusades, Eric Christiansen ( nonfiction )
---The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, C. S. Lewis ( fantasy )
---Prince Caspian, C. S. Lewis ( fantasy )
---The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, C. S. Lewis ( fantasy )
---The Silver Chair, C. S. Lewis ( fantasy )
---The Horse and His Boy, C. S. Lewis ( fantasy )
---The Magician's Nephew, C. S. Lewis ( fantasy )
---The Last Battle, C. S. Lewis ( fantasy )
February Total: 9 books (plus several magazines, a few newspapers, and a ridiculous amount of fanfiction)
Year to Date: 14 books (4 new, 10 old)
