StarMan (thestarman) | 1942 comments Thanks, Keli. I've read exactly none of those 25 books, and will peruse some of them.

I tried to buddy read All the Light We Cannot See with Fred but I found it really dull. It might have been my state of mind. I'll try it again to see if it's any better the second go round. On the homepage, the first 25, I think I've read two.
