I am including books I have read for school but not books I've read for work/review, because they are all a) non-fiction and b) niche books. I may change my mind on this, but for now they are out.

Did you enjoy the _Gossip Girl_ series? I've been debating picking them up as mind candy, but I have not heard anything from someone who has actually read any of them.

I enjoyed them quite a bit, although they are very trashy. If you like gossipy, silly and materialistic pop-cult, you should dig them.

I, for one, would love to see you include the work-related titles, especially because they are non-fiction and niche.

Of the books that were new to me, the Svevo was excellent. It managed to surprise and delight me constantly, and it was a lot... smarter, perhaps, than I expected. It was very good.
