  1. Also this year I read four books (at least four) to the halfway point before aborting. Those books are

    Banquet At Delmonico's, Barry Werth
    Martin Luther: Renegade and Prophet, Lyndal Roper
    Jesus Wars: How Four Patriarchs, Three Queens and Two Emperors Decided What Christians Would Believe for the Next 1,500 Years, Philip Jenkins
    The Rise And Fall Of Adam And Eve, Stephen Greenblatt

    Still have my bookmark in each of these but I doubt if I'm going back in ...
