Yes! Which?

The several I've not read have been on my urgent=to=read list for a looong time now. Really need to take care of these things in a more timely manner...

Miss Mac, The Tunnel, Take it, Mulligan, W&M, Cat, Five + 2014 done - the rest in 2016 for certain.

Yes, the Readers Also Enjoyed feature changes. I think the frequency of the changes depends on the popularity of the book source.

But too this one has remained rather stable ; with the two additions being quite appropriate.

We discovered that there can be changes in another group (obviously), and sometimes earlier entries disappeared. I'm glad this one has remained stable, because if you're going to complete a list, the list ought not to have some stricken from it.

You have posted the original list and made the additions.

I'm not sure John Barth is for me, but I know another reader who I think will appreciate him thoroughly (and probably this list), and am glad to pass it on.

You might not dig Barth, but everything up there is all kinds of different from one another. Might be something for you.
