A full list of my books is available at http://www.shelfari.com/dashnputer/ In most cases, I have the date of completion, but it is missing on some.

Which is your favorite this year so far?

Sadly, I've tried Don Quixote trillion times without success...

dashforcover06/20/2009

The only way I was able to get through Don Quixote was to listen to an audio e-book. My public library has a couple of services for e-audio books, so I didn't have to buy it. I'd never have made it through reading the book. Same for Emma by Jane Austen.

My favorite so far this year is The Golden Cord by Paul Genesse. I'm considering reading it again. Its part of a series and book 2 just came out. I rarely purchase books, but I purchased these. Highly recommended if you enjoy fantasy and young adult fiction.

Hum... I don't think Paul Genesse is available in french yet, but if the series will be popular, they probably will.

The books are published by Tor Books, in case that is something you can check on. It is published initally in hardback, if that means anything, too.
