    Interesting list. Of course, who are you kidding? Come March your reading list will be:

    Seuss, Dr. 1963 Hop on Pop. Random House Books for Young Readers
    Gaines, Ann 2005 Britney Spears (Blue Banner Biographies). Mitchell Lane Publishers

    And they will take you the rest of 2007.

    Yes, I wasted time on Amazon looking that up just to screw with you.
