OK, here’s another fun blog game from Mixolydian Mode<\/a> via normblog<\/a>; take the list of books, and look in your shelf for the authors.<\/p>\n

If you’ve got them on the shelf, leave them. If you don’t, insert an author you do have and bold it.Sadly, I seem to have very little overlap with Norm; he’s a professor and British, while I’m a random guy and a Californian…sigh.<\/p>\n

For the new books, I decided to pick from the lefthand stack of shelves in the dining room, just to limit the amount of walking around and looking I’d have to do.<\/p>\n
